collaborative poetry

This is an awesome poem, I just googled collaborative poetry & found this:

Waiting for scars.

*

The fist, an augured wind that blew

against a cheek that turned

away again, already burned

with shame

*

'Breathe' said the lungs

in a sweating cage of blank devotion

bidding joy and all emotion
to silence

*

'Stand' said the bone

a splintered act of moderation

lapis tattoo of adoration

a joke

*

'Steal' said the mind

to feed the poor and battered love

ragged-winged, bleeding dove

of misery

*

'Wait' said the soul

'be patient

time will heal, and

when there's nothing left at all to feel

try scars'

*

(John Ahearn/Kate Bousfield)
