My verse can’t
breathe
without you.
the shiny U, though, the
tuning fork U
it isn’t a fish for heaven’s sake!
(though sometimes it does )
it doesn’t respire,
(though sometimes it’s fly)
it isn’t Star Wars,
(though sometimes it’s jedi)
or stately building Cary Grant & Tom Hanks scaled
–it’s not an empire!
(though sometimes it strikes back)
and it isn’t warm milk.
(though sometimes it’s soothing)
it doesn’t expire.
(though sometimes it’s sour)
derived purely
from
breath…
shiny tuning forks feed
its melody
–or lack thereof—
inspire—
(duh)
