POEM OF THE DAY

PEN

 

this pen will put your eye out

this pen is a gun

for shooting stars

from the sky

this pen is a syringe

for the injection of midnight

this pen is a needle

threaded with squid’s ink

for sewing the eyelid shut

over an empty socket

this pen has put your eye out

Dana Pattillo, 1998

(PoD 23)
