i am not your poet,
not even your rising poem.
i am but the simple sound, 'ah',
that comes between
your irregular heartbeats!
i am the sperm
that fell to the floor,
the dust wiped from the cover
of an unread book.
i am the rust on the plow,
the burp of the earth.
i am the nest made of straw.
i am the old clothes,
washed in the creek.
i am the pot simmering.
i am the child
forgotten by god,
i am the body
left for the crows.
i am the silence that overwhelms,
i am the healing without name.
i am the lover, the cross,
and the road not walked.
i am the embrace of death,
and the quiet companion.
i am the still beauty
of scars and bruises,
the kiss that lights the night.
i am the hope
that looks like you...
the simple sound,
'ah'!
I am the kiss that lights the night, I am the hope that looks like you., Ah! nice work.

I would like to translate this poem
Your poem has a rising tension of implosion of all the things around and of the inside (viscera) and it is accompanied by a human reaction, which is expressed by the exclamation'' ah''. The personification of the word is a great idea.Thank you for sharing this great poem.M.
