Rejections Lyrics by Etheridge Knight

0

We reject these poems because of the space taken
in sorrow,
that they do not speak of the promised horse of healing.

We reject these bone dark words
because they are joyless in shape
and silent of a rising wind.

Poetry should be easier, forgiven like,
not drug from innards,
too much of old mean in dying light,
those moon sorrowed people
living in sexlеss rooms.

Put this darkness back into your pen.
Don't mail this scorpion again.

Submit something of a turn lifting,
thе beginning of the sun about all froze,
written fully in a day of light.
