Dead Language & The Afterlife of Poems

by

I speak an ancient tongueNo one understands -A tongue so deadYou can’t feel it in your mouth -A language so deadYou can only see itIn the dark.

The Afterlife of Poems

Poems die when I write them.I bury them in words.Push the stone from my mouth -Resurrect them!
