[Every Monday (until I run out of them), I’m posting a poem of mine that has fallen out from the submission process for some reason. In most cases, it will be one where I’ve received no response to my submission for at well over a year or more. Maybe the magazine I submitted them to has folded, the submission was lost in the post, or whatever. So, these poems can be seen as lost, orphans, of uncertain status, or something like that.]
These poems are also posted to ABCTales.
as though we live so deep below, submerged
far underwater, never coming up
for air and seeing how blue sky can be.
our shoulders hunched and heavy heads bowed down
under the weight of far too many days
of life endured instead of living free.
will always still defeat our every move
no matter how we try to break away
into another brighter, better, world.
