the blessed poem

the blessed poem crouches
full of compassion in front of
the poet’s nebulous womb

is it in this orbit
or another where the inexpressible
tastes like dew and manna on the tongue?

the nullification of death
stupefies the language-fighters and
the narcissists

the diverse research gives
no space
for the imagination

the poems can only
march in
their own protests

a fraction of a syllable
will purify my possessed head
there is no time for excessive metaphors

be it indigenous
or alien
it does not matter

we all stand with hungry lungs
that more and more  
fall away into a state of sigh
