Oh, How Well They Wrote

Those who wrote before us are but fossils,

imprints within swaths of stone,

We outline their poems with greedy fingers,

This is how they must have lived,

Oh, how well they wrote!

But can you feel them breathing

from decaying lungs,

Do their poems celebrate today,

or lie
