Wise Words To The Self-Pitying

by Ken Harnisch

Arise!

The heart is no place for the Tame

Or Tyrants

But, sour with the blood of

Ill remembrances

Is often clogged and

Woefully inefficient.

 

Open the curtains!

Let the dusty sunlight cables shine

On cobwebs and memories

Then sweep them from the

Landscape

You are in sore need of revival

And the door of Life misses

Your booming hand

Banging loudly on the brass

"The heart is no place for the Tame Or Tyrants" Brilliant line. Love the form and the voice. Well penned, indeed.
