To Be a Poem

14 4 4
                                    

I want to be a poem
Or a starry night sky-
Maybe just a memory you knew as a child.
I want to be a poem
Or the stain of my thoughts
An ever-growing fungus, lovely rot

What makes poems troublesome?
They never seem to end-
The meanings they hold bend and shift, shift to bend.
History keeps changing,
And laughter might fail
So I'll try to mend these bonds with my patchwork of tales
