A PANTOUM

Kristen Lenea Ryberg

PLAY for a preamble and reading of the poem!

A PANTOUM 

tired of Breaking News
of broken limbs
fallen on forest floor
resigned to the return

of broken limbs 
to be re-set     lined up
resigned to the re-turn
of re-paired wholeness

to be re-set     lined up
enough to support fever dreams
of re-paired wholeness
where everyone became wise

enough to support fever dreams
of good heart’s wild acts
where everything became wise
tired of breaking news.
