POEM OF THE DAY BY DEZ TENHAM

A Reason Not To Love

Satisfied with understanding the general gist of things
there is so much to look into, stars suns and faces
how could you expect the trauma of sentience
to not come with the anxious powers of observation
so inclined to attempt to take on the import of
more, the universe coax-pushing
the body
the self,
ground against pavement-synthesis
steamroller that does not crush but drives
pressed by the gravity of organic-magnetism
Scrape-shaven into road-rash dust and debris
Less than a blink-becoming of basic chemical compounds again
Building blocks for mushrooms and echoes of thought.


-Dez Tenham
