Poem of the Day for 04/04/25 Lost by Alicia Vann My glass speaks of water yet to be poured. I lick it in hopes of absent condensation. It chuckles at it’s hidden pin pricks It makes me beg for mere sadness. Cobblestones sting my knees as I pray And friends and foes alike keep distant. Others walk in oblivious circles. The daftest follow pretty phonies As they take their attention in any way, Shape, or form they can. It will not be here that I find water And there will be no compassion. He scourged my Bohemia through apathy, And did it in his own slovenly time. I sweat to fake it for a small while more, For I succumbed long ago to lack of Aspiration. I’m contained and looking Outward for peace. I can not see Through an almost opaque film. Though life exists as I shrivel. 03/30/2005 Visit Alicia Vann's Library Lost Copyright © 2025
