What happens when you numb a poet?
The words fall short
of their meaning
the one beyond the read
The lines weaken
and leave the reader
with a sense of boredom
The heartbeat
only in that cage
and fails to bleed
on pages
The papers
become satiated
with empty ink
lacking quality
The poet
loses him/her/them self/ves
in that limbo
between
head
and heart
running on a treadmill
trying to catch the fleeting muses
The poet dilutes
in reality
his/her/their greatest
fear
for that is
what they
try to escape
in every
poem
