Sorry, I Don’t Have A Poem Today
— JoEllen Moldoff —
I don’t even have
one syllable of a poem.
But I can write air,
for its blues and wind
and water
for its sounds.
Unlike the poem
I don’t have today
a no-sound, no-color,
no-idea poem.
Sorry, but I must resign myself
to poemlessness,
unlike mountains, clouds, rivers, rain,
plants and animals who never go poemless
and never have to apologize.
