Deviating Under the Starlight: Whispers of Divestment

KJ Hannah Greenberg brought us Lake Wyola's Mile High Farm: Sociology in America back in August. Today's poem is a bit different, but every bit as chewy.

Deviating Under Starlight: Whispers of Divestment

By KJ Hannah Greenberg

I'm deviating left and right,

In the sun, plus twice at night.

Might as well feign like Clytie:

When running against the starlight.

True, no nymph or maiden fair,

Cares like me about how near

Your breath vibrates or how you swear

To liberate the beloved you "hold dear."

If only chains, which confine souls,

Could mold our wants, change what we know,

The cosmic dramas might unfold

Regret's roots when thus we behold.

Until that hour, until that chime, I

Meander oddly this space, this clime,

Roaming intentions, roving design,

I'm diverging from our union, meantime.
