Poetry
Lumber
By ailbhe

Lumber
My body is dead
and you will not mourn it.
Your touch wakes me, breath sways me,
I am your golem.
You will not leave me alone.
.
You come to me
at my wake
and bid me toast
my own health. You come
as a bird,
as a flame,
as a flame in a bush.
It is fuschia the dancer
 .
but I will not dance.
I am a golem: I lumber.
My flesh is not sweet.
I taste of graveyard clay
mixed with your spit.

This describes what makes a poem poetry, like this one.
