Ghosted by Poetry


Words have been
quiet in me.

Not all words,
anger always
finds its voice.

It stomps 
on my brain
hoping to reach
my tongue.

Poetry has
ghosted me.
I beg for text
a smiling word,
a heart that 
doesn’t bleed,
but my pen has
found another poet.

Wars, billionaires,
death, hunger…
Are there any
new verses
to describe it?
