Poetry

We Hold Meaning by Kristine DeWitt

Falling in love with words intrinsically meaning, allegorically feeling, fundamentally reeling

Complex, layered, hypothetical imperative

Transformative


Burgeoning flower, self-indulgent imitations, acceptable connotations

Alluvium into my own being, flow inward, burbling

Transcendent


Proliferation fixation, interpretation infatuation, paralyzing preoccupation

In search to comprehend, interpret, decipher

Internalizing


Consumed with a hunger, esurient craving, famished for language

Ravenous, despising my ignorance, malnutrition in sources

Deficiencies


Doubting capacity for logic from patriarchal discourses, cognitive dissonance

Self-awareness shrouded, lack of acuteness surrounded

Subjudcation


We are here, not expectations, different gradation, translating

Equivalent feeling, saudade, being

Transposed


Questioning degree, eloquence and oratorical language, igniting writing impassioned

Lost on what I will be, my aging growing in me, will I be fungus or cheese

Affinage


Satisfaction, spontaneity, words running away with me

Incessant stampeding of concepts perceiving, significant meaning

Observed


Enveloping, encompassing, pursuing observational learning

Defending the knowledge I’m acquiring, my sanctuary

Fortifying
