DIARY OF A BROKEN POET by Olėtu Oghėnėnyorė C.

DIARY OF A BROKEN POET

pieces of glass; old 
bottles at the sea, broken
street of notebooks
drinking and living every pages
drunk poets; phrases
here and there

leaving sunshine to seek the sun
miss train; slow trek 
to stardom; boom, air hostess 
seeking selfie
on the long run 

poetry and puzzle
born by the same parent
surviving migraines
blank brain traveling in coffee cab
and you say ‘poetry is everything’
you know you don’t mean it, you know
except you are known

write, still, just write
smile over scars
