Once I was a poet

Once I was a poet;

A magician of meter,

Pouring out songbird symbolism

(Double meaning you could drown in—

Resurrect in)

And rose-colored tragedy

Like you wouldn't believe in.

Once I was a poet,

But I'm afraid I've lost my voice,

And so I pour out poems,

Reaching for a phantom limb,

Hoping that my poems will one day be poetry again.
