So Hard by Susan Isla Tepper

You cried so hard 
so long
the gods of such matters
took you at your word
your begging wish    
to transcend 
this particular channel

to go
anywhere, anywhere

You stumbled out onto 
a lost land
where you could not
breathe/ eat / tell truth
from fantasy

distinguish between 
love and war
without choking
on your own breath






Susan Isla Tepper is a twenty years published writer in all genres.  Her current project is an Off-Broadway Play on the subject of art and life.
