A Thousand Wounds Poem by John Lars Zwerenz
A Thousand Wounds
What mortal poet can assuage
The toils of a hour's wage?
What visionary, mystic bard
Can turn one single, tristful page
In the book of life, in any age
With descriptions of a florid yard?
Which souls can soothe tormented man
Of dismal Decembers and jaded Junes?
Which brand of poets truly can? -
Only those who bleed from a thousand wounds.
