THE NEW LOVE POEM - Philip Dacey


The new love poem is known for its honesty. The new love poem says I don't love you.

The new love poem remembers the old love poem in which a woman's body was compared to the entire world. The new love poem tries not to feel superior to the old love poem.

The new love poem can live on a steady diet of bitter fruit. The new love poem thinks sweets are for children.

When the new love poem sleeps, it dreams of getting old, of shriveling to a chrysalis, of something with wings and color so loud it talks emerging to thrill someone who doesn't know any better and who doesn't want to.


Perfect poem for a night when sleep is impossible.
