holden made real
A man in the house of innocence
a babe to the rest
A soul held in adoration
a babe to the rest
A mind likened to no other
but that of a super nova
Alas, a babe to the rest
with faithful arms and honest eyes
this is Holden,
made real.

| thank you, i wrote this piece about my son, Holden. thinking about it now, it makes sense that his life still has been very short, like this poem, and his meaning has not yet become clouded in a long stream of pretty words either. thank you for reading. |

| Beautiful. I think the length, actually makes each word, more vital- more alive, than if it were to go on, extend itself, over-do its meaning, as conventional poems often do. The meaning is actually, louder than the words. I think often poems are comprised mainly of pretty words, neatly arranged, in a feeble attempt to make the meaning actually... mean something. This is perfect, just as it is. Thank-you for the read. |
