johannes lewinsky Poems

I cannot will not out of my
perpetual ruminations treatises make
interminable unintelligible
...

they reek of possibility
these places where we meet
once and only
elide collide
...

I cannot what it is
What it is assails me
This news assails
That he who i didn't
...

How can you reason with this
Without appearing to argue
that being human
Is learning to be most
...

It is alone i am
And when alone i am can
Explore be what am not
Permitted by all that would be
...

If i have to this
That i am not be
Will be will do
What it is
...

How many poker faced evenings have i stared at
Wondering feeling what it is i am supposed
To wonder feel how many leaves falling
How many autumns winters gone and been
...

I wish i could
I would if i could
Draw this from out of you
This distemper plagues you
...

How many do i pass each day
Huddled against the wind the rain and themselves
By their boots transfixed
Morose, and embittered
...

All who fell for her knew
They were entering upon
an inferno from which
There was no escape until
...
