A Hole with No Walls is Not Dark by Max BouilletI prefer to be broken,
to let my shatter spread.
The glassy fissures unfolding
until all that remains
is a rupture
--a hole with no boundaries
free of the need
to be filled 05/11/2011 Author's Note: and if i fall into myself will i keep falling?

Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 05/13/11 at 03:37 PM Good question. This poem does a great job of leaving things wide open to either good or bad. The imagery is tremendous, too. |
Posted by Wendy Sparling on 05/21/11 at 04:36 AM I like the images in this poem. The word 'eternity' comes to mind. |
Posted by Angela Stevens on 06/11/11 at 11:37 PM Oh, love the imagery. Definitely one to remember. |
Posted by Glenn Currier on 06/19/11 at 03:58 AM This is brilliant. I love the paradox. Embracing brokenness as a way of becoming whole. I think that is what I do with much of my poetry - spreading the shattered pieces where everyone can see them. That takes a combination of serenity and craziness?? |
