Wishness
written by: Kevin Taylor
@poetkevinjtayl1
Today, somewhere, there are people who are
and now wish they were not who they had once wished to be.
To them, I say, sweep the old away and wish again.
Others may say that a simple wish is not enough
but I’d point out that without that single simple wish
nothing follows. There has always been a wish.
Western Canadian poet, storyteller and sometimes shit disturber. First published in Sand Patterns, Prince Edward Island, in 1974. Up and down since then. Several chapbooks slouch on bookshelves marking "the sudden grey of decades passing," following a first humiliating rejection, in person.
