Channel Esther: I’m Not Sure if This is about Getting Older
Esther Cohen
November 3, 2014
by Esther Cohen
I’M NOT SURE IF THIS IS ABOUT GETTING OLDER
but sometimes
there are days
so many days
when I do absolutely
nothing. No words
no matter how hard
I try to find them.
I wrote the word brummagem
it means cheap and showy
from Birmingham England
I wrote it many times.
Still no poem.
Today too
not enough words.
These words, all these
words are from
yesterday.
Esther Cohen writes poems, novels, and other things, including a new poem every day.
