Poems to Leave Streaks of Ink

Poezja

And I'd rage at the monsters, But that's the task of fools, Who cannot bring themselves to know, Monsters are humans' tools... I write poems like this, just usually longer...feel free to give some of them a read:)

Little Histories

Some people love big history

The famines and the wars

They know a thousand famous names—

Have large books stored in drawers

And that's important, I get that

We need to know these things

But I confess I don't care much

For plagues, weapons, or kings

Instead give me the recipes

Filled with handy notes

I'll try to find the person hidden

In their little quotes

Tell me who once owned this toy

I now hold in my hand

I think I almost see the girl

Playing in the sand

These initials in the tree—

Who were they made by?

I wish to know it truly, but,

I cannot ask the sky

The photos and the videos, oh,

How much I love them so!

I drink them in, and wonder at

All that they do not show

I ache to know all that I can

Of little histories

The lives that we do not record

And are left mysteries

These things I want to learn the most

But I will never know

Because we think they have no worth

And each day let them go
