Poems from the 12-Hour Couplets Contest: Being, Jeffrey Rensch
Jeffrey Rensch has been writing poetry for 50 years. He is not a big fan of free verse.
Being
I was the master, no, not really that,
the servant of something, I don’t know what,
my fate? I didn’t really
have a fate
to speak of or was ignorant of it,
I mean, I couldn’t really lose my way
without some way to sense the destiny
I didn’t have, and this was more than loss,
more like a robbery, I felt furious
at… someone but I couldn’t figure out
a single enemy to single out,
for what was maybe my own clumsy doing,
not to have even the remotest being.
