Excuse me poets
Tribute to Orlando
And so the wise
Write
Bland words
Clever words
But men and women
Have died
So they
These Sunday painters
Argue
About the style
The poetics
The rhyme
Whether children
Could have done better
But men and women
Have died
There is something
Missing
A loose connection
Technique
Fuck technique
Fuck if it’s
a quick response
Men and women
Have died
write something
about
what’s happened
don’t write
about grammatics
write about loss
write about love
write about grieving
that we
have come to this
write about
men and women
Have died
