Prompt #4 This isn't a poem
This isn't a poem
This is a hammer stroke
Chiseling void
Beating my space
Smooth against unruly time.
This is nature versus nurture
This is an aneurysm
Bleeding out my future
This is anything but
Lines that chime
To elegant rhymes
This is discord
Disconnect
Discomfort.
This is deep vein thrombosis
That numbs arterial rain.
This isn't...
Self expression.
This is Discovery
Retrieval and
Perhaps rescue.
Perhaps they know.
The Gods that be
This isn't
A statement of purpose
Or intent.
This is Morse code
SOS
Set in a dream.
