We beat a retreat from PNG. There was a sort of welcome home
Of extreme weather, kindness & fear of sorcery

Bigger words to say I'm sorry

SorryRAYMOND SIGIMET

Are there bigger words to say I'm sorry?
Of those hidden scars and painful bruises,
as we sit and stare without a worry

The sovereign house can fall from glory
For no one wants to put words to truces
Are there bigger words to say I'm sorry?

What of the stories and their memory?
Of starry nights and poetic muses,
as we sit and stare without a worry

Exchanging untoward trajectory
of spiteful spat and verbal abuses
Are there bigger words to say I'm sorry?

The stabbing hurt does dull much memory
The falling away then has no uses
as we sit and stare without a worry

The wise in their words and oratory
Words that can be said and no one loses
Are there bigger words to say I'm sorry,
while we sit and stare without a worry?

Artistry of people at lands known as PNG, have many forms as folk long past strove to fashion utility and evidence ingenuity in materiality (too little of which endures but enough to ward off deniability). Artistry of concept so long constrained by insufficiencies at interfacing language and wisdom, now materialises as graphic representation and digital archive, a grand new solar enlightenment of capability too little heralded, advances as day no long just dawned.
Arises, Raymond.

Thank you Michael. Your comment and positive words are very much appreciated and acknowledged.

This is a gemstone, brilliantly constructed out of the pain of life, it sparkles with words that refract fundamental emotion with intensity and depth.

There are no weak lines, no ungainly syntax, no random permutations or misplaced words; each word is vital; every line flows freely to the next, from verse to verse, from moment to moment, they culminate in the whole poem so that it stands entirely on it's own.

"What of the stories and their memory?

A world-class poem, Raymond.

This is a poem that stands apart from your poetry.

I am eager for your upcoming collection.
