ars gratia artis/ars poetica poem
Art for the sake of art-
requires vulnerability,
but I don't know if I'm able
for a part of me
to be left out on the table.
Not carefully carved
like thanksgiving turkey,
more like last night's discared dinner
not saved or cleared, out of lethargy,
and beginning to stink.
I wouldn't dare to take a bite
or try to reheat it;
attempting to give it new life.
That'd only accentuate the stench,
resurrecting the past,
and making me wretch.
Though in doing so, it may finally pass.
