Credos – a poem by Sanjeev Sethi

Credos


Carceral frames are an offshoot of jadedness. In
an unkind ecosystem, the kind clan is isolated.
Your beat lights my landscape, even though
the holders are faulty and the bulbs fused. How
do I know this is for real? I volplane towards
you: the caret remains. Faith is our password.
