The Love Crusade
There is always a path strewn with side-posts.
I am collecting the road markers and the highway attractions.
I hurdle over the death troughs and the broken bones,
but I am tired of clearing the path.
I will not conquer.
I will not slay.
I will not lie.
I am largehearted,
but not large.
(c) Umansky 2015

Thank you to John Ebersole & the Philadelphia Review of Books for publishing ” This is a Love Poem,” which will appear in my next full-length collection.
The Philadelphia Review of Books
by Leah Umansky
I will herald my ghosts
I will braid our pasts
I will unlid secrets
I will forest bruises
I will strange love
I will cabinet the lies
I will haunch the hurt
I will expunge order
I will temper the liked
I will pale the bad
I will away the soiled
I will hush the undone
I will stab the fault
I will dream the lie
I will sweet the love
I will still the brood
I will play the stars
I will pronounce the naked
I will index chance
I will darling the crookt
I will soldier the dreams
I will pageant the breaks
I will cycle the jitters
I will sing the caring
I will belly the upset
I will feast comfort
I will turn the certain
I will empty the dark
I will flame the barbarous
I will shun the ills
I will repine…
