Inanimate Until

Inanimate Until

A Poem by Leah Simone
"

a poem could be about being a poem could be about being a spirit could be what it means to me will never be the same as what it means to you

"
 
To you I am words jangling as a windchime,
unpredictable rhythm with repetitious pitch
 
you find comfort in my serenade
the familiar hollowness that makes me ring
 
You know my song in the darkness
as I tremble at your slightest touch
 
every tethered note of my music
is anchored in splinters
and rusts in rain
 
You are air
I am wingless
inanimate
 
and somehow you
who say you are nothing
make me
come alive

Thanks for reviewing my work too.
