Onlinebookclub Poem
Okay, I've started:
I lie here on this summer night
With hardly any light
Pondering what to write
That will interest and delight...
“there have been so many times
i have seen a man wanting to weep
but
instead
beat his heart until it was unconscious.
-masculine”
― Nayyirah Waheed

"Why can't I write this poem today?"
My head is pounding
My hands are throbbing
I hold myself to keep from sobbing.

And the darkness is uninspiring
My headache worsens
My anxiety deepens

I stopped being hysterical
I started to notice the sweet smell of roses
I closed my eyes and listened to tiny voices
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

As if we all were here seated side by side, on onlinebookclub,
At times assessing and reassessing each other's literary maturity,
The sun, the moons, the stars and more galaxies staring at us all,
As we put all our collective visions, intellects, cravings together,
Or are all these our skeletons in the cupboard?

But still we meet at obc regularly.
Even if distance envy our unity
We are still stitched together at obc.
