I don’t have a title.<\/p>\n
I don’t have a poem.<\/p>\n
There isn’t one hiding in the backgrounds.<\/p>\n
I think we are both still simmering from an earlier interruption.<\/p>\n
Have you ever been in the throws of passion,<\/p>\n
just about to reach that volcanic explosion;<\/p>\n
ready to jump off into the climatic cliff<\/p>\n
when all of a sudden a toddler or God forbid older child makes their way in?<\/p>\n
That is what it feel like to have an interrupted poem.<\/p>\n
I am still mourning its loss.<\/p>\n
If no one but me me felt it,<\/p>\n
does that mean it didn’t really exist?<\/p>\n
I have a list of titles for poems whose writing I looked forward to with great expectation-<\/p>\n
but I am deflated,<\/p>\n
all because of a poem interrupted in birth.<\/p>\n
I hope it will come back.<\/p>\n
But will it be the same if it comes back to me and I give it another name?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
