LINE BREAKS

A sudden caesura

A rhythm interrupted

An awkward end-stop

In poetry, does

Not worry us, because

We can see what

Comes next:

The ensuing line

Is

Already there

Ready to be read

Which means

We can easily

Complete the clause.

In life (and love)

That line

Is, most often, not

There, not

Perceptible

Legible

To the naked

Eye.

What comes next

We must write

With the ink

Of our own

Aspiring lives.
