Experience
…the best out is always through… Robert Frost
Who came up with this word
a word like a bowl
whatever you pour into it mixes together
not finicky as a patient’s appetite
this word
like sin
once brought into this world
God’s creatures have no choice but
to live
experience
the feelings that tie themselves around a person's heart
in the process of living
are like a noose around his neck who can untie
those feelings
in recompense for all he has gone through
you’ll never know
experience
fatal as a noose
the shadow of sentence unpronounced
inevitable execution
everyone carries experience
around his neck
a hangman’s noose
death is not frightening
you just have to go through enough
you just have to endure the thought of it
experience
like a noose
will not be untied in this world
the residue
of past experiences
experience
like the number 13
unbreakable divisible into nothing
its
all pervading primeness
cleaves the heart right down the middle
just experience parcels out
life and death in equal shares
experience
the verdict of the heart
until it carried out
you will never be free of the sentence
