Universe of words

poems

are a way avoid

giving up

to it all

because each thing

is broken down

from its whole

into a lonely line

that is connected with dots

that could go on for infinity

but end

where they need to

because they need to

and because

there is something in

giving up

yourself

to a poem

that can only be described

in poetry

and even then

there’s something still missing

in the universe of words

that spurred creation

and the spaces of white

and you

after it all
