Poems/Not Poems

I Have Discovered

By Roberta Werdinger

 
 

 

I have discovered

I am incapable of learning

I have discovered

the winter light is a carrot

 

I pull from the garden

I have discovered

the morning is a cattle train

on its way to slaughter

 

I have discovered

the evening air is a bracelet

around my wrists

I have discovered

 

all seed

all yearning

I have discovered

it is all going.
