The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker
Who Have I

Who in the world have I?
not a mother's wombed to leap inside
no lover's embrace
only empty lonely visions
of lonely visions
empty of
Love's
joyous
call to
me my
Lord
lest
I die
before the morning sun
returns

Waves of mourning
beat my breast
crush my ribs
my
your
am I vain
or air in an empty
ex
hale
the Lord, righteous King!
