Redaction
The choice to censor myself
Is not one that I want to make,
Redaction is not for the likes
Of poets like me.
I perfer to spill my verse
More honestly…
Without the markers
Cross to hide the dream
I want to speak.

More honestly…
Without the markers
Cross to hide the dream
I want to speak.
The poet’s voice abhors silencing
The very antithesis
Even betrayal
Of the poetic urge
In truth, Sappho was right
“What cannot be spoken will be wept.”
