The Web Poetry Corner - Daniel Chapa - The Drowning Pool

The Drowning Pool

by

Daniel Chapa

This child started a fire
Burning Within my dry eyes
Hold them open! Never tire
I muttered my own high lies

Keep these hands bridged for prayer
And thoughts of only redemption
I know I can never say her
rosary in this lonely condition

I recite the only words I know
The Lord's prayer crosses my lips
My fearless aura begins to glow
Easing the pain my faucette drips

I try to drain this drowning pool
For a decade I have filled with tears
To bear this weight is not so cool
And the dripping is all my ears hear.
