    Where is it?

    Is it behind or still in front?
    Is it alive or dead?
    Is its heart stil beating, pulsing, throbing,
    When all is done and said?

    Can I shovel dirt on its grave,
    Its dirge begin to write?
    Summon forth its pallbears
    And bury it in the night?

    Can A child like sprint be in me ,
    As Its vise like grip unfolds?
    And thus declare my freedom
    From the carnage that it holds?

    Is it behind, or still in front?
    What importance do I place?
    Do I dig its grave and bury it,
    Or keep it face to face?

    Very moving, very painful especially the last lines are thought provoking.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
