ERASURE

Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

ERASURE

waters

of annihilation

the body

a sheet of glass

turns to wax hardens

to tallow

the sheath of a knife

the inevitable

catastrope

across leagues of snow and desert

those great wars

this monster

the body

On Illness, Virginia Woolf

The poem is amazing and I love it’s composition on the page. I love the fullness of its bloom! Great job!

Awesome! I especially love this:

“the body

a sheet of glass

turns to wax hardens

to tallow “

This is a hard art form, but you have done beautifully! Love when the poem reflects the source.
