I've been studying to have my poetic license renewed, so I will post a series of poems. The first has two versions, because I can't decide which I like the best. The first version has a quality like transliterated haiku, which I like, but the second version flows better:
Embrace
I saw a glove
Stomped into the parking lot
Of an old warehouse
The fingers spread like wings
At first I thought
It was a bird
It grasped the asphalt
To its palm
The way a dead bird
Clutches the earth
To its breast
(Alternate Version)
I saw a glove
Stomped into the parking lot
Of an old warehouse
At first I thought
It was a bird
The fingers spread like wings
And grasped the asphalt
To its palm
The way a dead bird
Clutches the earth
To its breast
