Someday i’ll write a poem
by Diane Boisvert
About the sky
About the vastness of the undiscovered
portions of my mind
About the solid ground
About the tears spilt,
Splitting the earth, rendering unsolid
stability unquakable
Until its secrets spray uncatchable
Until it is grasped gray with colors
dripping between clenched fingers
Open, open up, oh hand
Send back those hues unto the clouds
Where they’ll reign unrained a mystery.
and i will say with certainty
Someday i’ll write a poem.
