The Poetry Of.
Danielle Grilli.................................

Translation

He says

...... You never write love poems
...... You only write about suicide, depression

What he doesn’t know:

...... They’re all love poems

Life: The first obsession

...... She’s devastating

This is no poem
I’m just making a point

...... Sometimes the trees
...... the salt of oceans

...... They betray me





Subsistance

There is the moon
There is the paint
cracked & blisteri
ng on drainpipe T
here is the wood s
plintering beneath
bare feet The knot
There is the light f
rom window The r
ail of balcony The
L joint holding thi
s failing world to f
orm There is shatt
ering There is the
split The glue & n
ails cement There
is snapping at the
seams Another fra
cture Another falli
ng shard scar and
then there is no
thing Wind & Sou
nd Redemption of
darkness There is
splinter & crack &
blister & word &
skin & snap & not
hing Void & breat
hlessness Nothing





Quietly

How to explain:

Cracked Bark
Tongue of Jasmine

Fist of sun struck blindly
off rusted pipe, bleached abalone


SILENCE


I Await

Creak of Door....Carriage of Kiss.... Gold Eyes
................ to this terrestrial Eden


Hidden beyond

Rush of Traffic.... Heights of Exacted Stone

Only a whispered echo
Only a foggy distance



My Love

We gather small gods to our fingertips

Praying.... Praying






Upon Reflection: A Poem In 2 Parts

ONE

It has taken a stupidly extensive amount of time for me to realize you just don’t give a shit

TWO

I wonder how many pages I will fill for you
