Bequest Poem by Sheridan Spence

Bequest



Bequest

-

And so it is

Futile.

Speak to me of newborn pillars –

Shrieking tenants of sacrifice.

Erudite men care not for

These babbling crimson

Streams –

It continues.

Speak to me

Of finite desperation,

Of shrill commiseration

With merciful oblivion.

Surveyors plodding on

Through shreds of humanity –

Contaminated, murky rivers:

Speak to me.

Yo Spence, I'd sure like to speak to you.....but what is it that is being bequeathed? Talk to me! ! Cheers. Subroto
