Question marks

To everyone here, my apologies for not posting anything in a long while; I conveniently blame South Africa’s lack in internet speed and connection. It's not thursday, but set my silence right, here is a poem anyways...


They told her poems shouldn’t end in question marks, they’re not questions, they can’t be. So she was told that her words need meaning, metaphor. Brushstrokes and the scratching of the fountain pen’s sharp point needed something more than she had given...

Bowed down head, set to work, assigned to write, to think and feel – with meaning, not questions. And the white paper softens under the trickle of tears... She hates filling it with statements, giving it such meaning.

But the whiteness, the virginity, of the paper made it meaningless; it had to be taken! Had to, so she was told... to rape the words onto it, and take away the innocence; leave it with meaning – statements they meant with that; because questions, well, questions don’t turn the paper into something, they only ask for meaning from something, someone, else...

Take the paper... and fill it...

Perhaps, but the only thing she wishes for is to leave a question mark at the end...
