Fly away,poetry! Flee! The sweet words of a sonnet would maim and **** The hearts grow cold as tombstones Where your words are etched So old women can weep over the ground. The salt of their wounds watering the patch of earth So nothing can grow there For centuries. Poetry, you should not be murdered by hasty hands. This is your pardon From the pen that would capture you, and leave you in your humiliation.

Poetry's pardon
Fly away,poetry! Flee! The sweet words of a sonnet would maim and **** The hearts grow cold as tombstones Where your words are etched So old women can weep over the ground. The salt of their wounds watering the patch of earth So nothing can grow there For centuries. Poetry, you should not be murdered by hasty hands. This is your pardon From the pen that would capture you, and leave you in your humiliation.
