Words Unspoken
by Mark Olynyk
the art of words unspoken
on the stage composing
paper statements.
poetic speculation selling dreams
to paradise.
a waxing moon passing over seasons
witches hold a séance
summoning ghosts.
Atlas is sagging
weighed down with regret.
the joy of heroes diminished by sorrow
a telling commentary on quixotic quests
and risky ventures.
as round table knights
drink from the grail
reviving in the water.
