Swallow

no desc.

A path in the grass to the bodies
A dollar in the throat for the show
Some things you can't swallow easy
Some ideas don't let you go

So you can bite down until the dream whimpers
Because it's one your heart can't afford
To lose and so you kill tearing
Open its vital chords

Before the Angel of Death finds it
You hide it away with the rest
In a diary- another page wasted
On opportunities missed

Author's Note

Impossibilities
all too possible
but with a reasonable mind?

[Coyote Poetry]

I like this poem. I like the directness of each set of lines. Better to move on and leave death a few steps behind always. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I don't know. In my personal experiance, not using an opportunity soetimes is the best. Nothing written in a journal/diary is wasted Poe:) Love it, as always
