Friday Poem
UntitledMystical?
Too clinical.
God?
The name has been
smoked down
to a stub.
For sixteen years
I have ransacked
the universe,
unsealing files,
lifting lyrics,
looking for a way
to say how it was.
Because we have
no word for light
we live in shadows.
by Demetria Martinez
from Breathing Between the Lines
University of Arizona Press, 1997
