The Death of Poets

 
Is it any wonder how writers,  
even so young -  
their faces tight and bright with sun,  
their eyes agleam -  
how yet they still succumb  
to emptiness?  
 
Their faucets dripping dry;  
an empty sky,  
no air; nowhere to run,  
no thoughts to dream?  
 
Then, let the bullets fly.  
Let blades invade the vital stream.  
Let souls depart.  
 
And in ascension seem  
to find their heart
