Coffined (Free verse) by Dovina

What good is a body coffined Or self-consumed As if the reaper sleeps? What good is legacy lost Or fund-lengthened lives For bullets’ sting? And why help For thanks returned More likely stabbed Sitting here Soul soured Before an empty tube Wine darkened In midnight verse Hard-faced to any need I ask what good that body is Complete, abolished No-breather, no-brainer

Neither does poetry if you think about it.

"If a nation's literature declines,the nation atrophies and decays."
Ezra Pound from A-B-C of reading

Yes. Pound. Again.
