You were all great today, here's your poem

Not Enough: The found poem of 184/284 and their mentors

One life is not enough

The stars go out

Unfouled night of sky

We don't want to talk

Say lie down

I lace your body with my hands

My fingers are dried and fatigued with belief

What do they find. Our bones

My friend  our bones

Forgotten and thrown to the sea

The opposite of your blessed room

I do not know where I want you

Lying here waiting, wasting away

Set

Rise

rise

set

life lived languidly

dead friends with so much potential

it got to them

I'm raising children here

Just follow the instruction

Growth is the one thing

worth keeping around

the sea in you has sunk into the

sea of me, a fragility fractured

I hear you L.

each heart and name a kind of ditty

of hopefulness, you weren’t that either
