NO FLOORS
A poem for writers
by Ela Thier
We write because
We see no light
We feel no might
We fill with fright
Alone at night
We doubt
We could unite
We write because
We feel so small
Can’t hear our call
three inches tall
We can’t play ball
Can’t play at all
We write because
We hear a sound
And wonder if we might be found
And wonder if there is a way
Could we remember how to play
And are we brave enough to stay
And will our children be ok
We wake up feeling fear inside
We want to hide
We can’t abide
Knowing a beloved died
Beloveds we’ve not met
We write because your child’s mine
My child’s yours
So if there’s someone without shelter
Then none of us have floors
We write cause we think what’s the use
We write cause we’re done seeking truce
We write cause we are not obtuse
Don’t want to write…
We write because you’re me
I’m you
And we are done with making due
So even if we have to cry
We writers try
Thank you ever so much Ela, for the beautiful poem that fills me up.
We write to shed the light
Striving to make it tight
We write…because it’s right
