Dionysus.

Posted on April 26, 2021August 5, 2021 by Lucy

If it ain't so
think, with all the indentations
in the death bed of poetry
something habitual as
the moon oozes and creates
like Dionysus, a drifting eye,
glistening in brevity (terse and into verse)
the underfoot of both vice, love, and shame,
as if the earth left
and we poets, the true fools and players,
observe our ghosts
in the gardenias, our bed of scarlets.

Poet’s lament
Poet’s invent
With honest intent Spiritually sent

This sparkles Lucy: ‘glistening in brevity (terse and into verse)’ 🌟

  Aww, thank you so much. That line was directly inspired by utahan’s:
  
  “say it aint so
  me im terse
  and into me verse”
