No Pen Frantic the poem screams in my head Shrill, urgent, maddening Smashing this moment Commanding expression If only I had a pen I would gladly carve it into my flesh Indignant in its innocent rage I can't stop the glass from shattering in my skull Exaltation through agony The core glows molten Pleasure eludes me Streams of sand, tears, wisps Bleed through this grasp pf my aching fists I wish poetry on no one without a pen I wish poetry on no one without a pen Angela Peluso New Jersey Copyright ©2004 Angela Peluso Kissinger
