By Scott C. Kaestner
some people pop a prozac
or perhaps go to therapy
instead – i write
poetry
poetry to soothe the soul
poetry to ease the mind
poetry to release the pain
poetry to bury the past
in tombs of eternal existence
where there is no death
when words are breath
and to breathe
is to be
forever ...
a poem
is
forever...
