Tonight, she sleeps

Tomorrow
poetry will bleed from trees,
leak from ruins,
ooze from dead earth.

Tomorrow
poetry will reek of spontaneously combusted crows,
smell of yesterday's suicide note,
strike up a conversation with the dead cat.

Tomorrow
poetry will sigh pathetically,
and sweep silence gently away,
along with ellipses of no promise…
