Poem of the Day
1981
By Asiya Wadud
in a world the orange sun resets
in a world the orange sun resets
Everything on the outside is the same this morning. On the
outskirts of Kiev,
our farmland overturned, the cows' mouths grinding in
Both the actual horse on fire and its event out of these words
His difficulties the danger putting one
foot past the other impossible
the downcast eye captured by
Dream-I-Believe I brought
out of the night still streaming
out It was real I was right!
The corn they sought
Was sown by night.
besides not being from ancient troy
helen bailey hails from australia
her middle name is hypatia, her mother
Sea like a mirror.
One. Ripples with the appearance of scales formed, but without foam crests.
One A.M.
two cops
three teens nabbed
Always above, on a stair, in a tower,
the diamond-eyed magician treds the air,
and dabbles in the witchcraft of perfection,
As by wine unimpaired, the intoxication
ran high. Demeanor and curiosity—
not prying—was the clearest.
