ineffectual poetics
you say you want us to talk this out,
but i have nothing left to say
that hasnât already been said.
i know these poems are addressed to you,
but that doesnât mean theyâre for you
you
YOU
called the act
of me dissecting my own corpse
and performing the autopsy
on my rotting remains
on paper, in verse,
âineffectual poetics.â
and iâm not sure if i should be relieved
that you called it poetry
when there is a war raging
against the poets
who dare set the rule book aside
and write their truths their way
or if i should be sad
that youâll never truly understand
how cathartic this is for me
because itâs ineffectual
in giving you whatever it is
youâre still hoping to find in me.
