Poems by T.J. Swisher

Lyric Induced Thought

to take in the fruit
        and expunge the carnal
    to silence all voices
except that of the spirit,
      to exist beyond the thwart
of the pinning spears
            of the darkness,
arms spread, raised
    the rhythm of the bass drum
        the clasp of the cymbal
lead the sway
    and subtle presence
that fills the room.
