Dónall Dempsey - The Poems Come and Ask Frankie to Write Them

2014-11-07 5

She shapes the words

as if to construct
a makeshift key

to unlock
her fears

and so, trap them
into words

tame them
into poems

stand

alone
in her loneliness

knowing
that love

is the only
voice

that can awaken
the silent page.
