Ode (2019) 
T. Mesnick (b. 1999)

the poem was garlic was a raptor was a dunce 
the poem needed cracking like a back 
the poem: stubborn unfulfilling & fulfilled 
the poem had started with a wince 
  
this the sensitivity of pantoums forced to tombs: 
my wrist aches with longing 
the poem was a floor rug was a turnip made a scene 
the poem loved anything but me
