The Best Poem Of devin wayne davis

Infidelity

i, no.
poet …

evoke,
twist;

go west,
jungian,
to kiev.

it is enough,
occupying you—mind;

sobbing …
over the commission of your sins,
& bombing innocence out of its hut;

injustice; blood-
lust …

but, to better
punctuate us …
you cannot hope that

by pleading,
“not guilty”—

even if you sing it,
high or low, so

your voice lies
along with others

—you will
be
forgiveness.
