Joshua Burton’s poem #1 appeared here in early November 2012.
#6
By Joshua Burton
Time: aching and pacing
Wishing something away
Patience: staring at ceilings
A reminder of this restriction
Love: no amount of it can liberate
me from this confinement
Wishing something away
Patience: staring at ceilings
A reminder of this restriction
Love: no amount of it can liberate
me from this confinement
What the human body must endure is heartbreaking at times.
