Poetry by Charles Joseph


Only Human

Frida and beyond | Brett Sayles – Pexels

You’re a human.
That is limited

I’m an artist.
That breaks limits

So I smile.
When I look at you,
I look in you
I look past you
I look at your past

Smile. And touch you.

You’re only human.
Possessive of limits

I’m an artist.
Seeing beyond possibilities

And I hold you.
Squeeze you between my body and heart

Make your art
leak. Squeeze your art,
onto the ground.

Then I,
use my hands.

Kneel

I brush my fingers through your art
scattered through
a world
so brutal,
such beauty.

You’re only human.
And I
take a deep breath

Now,
you’re so much more.
