Fool

Fool

“Centuries ago it had  an ‘e’ at the end.” 

-H. F.

I speak to you with out 

the faith offered by the pope,

But “the illusion of faith 

offered by drugs, 

rock music, 

and contemporary poetry.”

I speak to you with a mouth full of broken vows and blood, 

but the voice of the void 

echoes between the lines.

I own nothing 

yet,  I grow rich in my poverty. 

I never seem to run out of words to eat.
