Certainty

Craftsmen of language

Wield instruments of reason

Penetrating myths

Poetry blossoms

Like flowers on the parchment

Before they decay

Insight and meaning

Sculpted in fragile symbols

Words dissemble, quick

Delicate sonnets

Battered by analysis

Bruised petals dropping

A poem seeking light

Wilts and withers in the heat

Choked by certitudes
