Whence goes ye?

inside the head
the banquets dead
the cells have stopped dividing
the eternal spark has silenced .............and the dark of night is riding
whence goes ye?
whence goes ye?
when the smell of rotting flesh is there
and the life force is not enshrined in bones and hair?
does it soar to time and space?
does it go back to the human race?
or does it reside in a special place?
whence goes ye?......................

George Wright, I arrest you for mutilating the English language. Everything you say can and will be used against you in court. Particularly the line, "whence goes ye?"

I think it works.

Whence goes ye?

Hi Georges....

"Whence goes ye?" One of my favourite lines in your poem. I love the sound of it. It also seems consistent with the questions you're asking.

"go", George, not "goes".

Bravo Andrew!

"whence goes ye?" is the most ridiculous line of the most ridiculous poem I have ever read. And I refuse to pretend otherwise.

George, the only excuse you could possibly have is that the English language is not your native tongue.

Throw yourself on the mercy of the judge.

Alright you handcuffed me but did not manage to get me this time, like yourself i am somewhat unconventional and usually manage to get a response. Some like it even if you do not and as an alien, i think i'm getting the basic grasp of the Engleiish!!!!!!

I consider it poetic license, and I like the flow of the sound of it [unlike what the literal "go" would be], with no loss of meaning.

Liz, excuse Poetry Cop for he knows not what he says, perhaps he needs a license to be a cop for he's not a man for not showing his name. Like many he hides behind a mask, but he is funny. Even if it's at my expense!!!
I will continue to write what i want and hope that somebody appreciates it.
I have and will always continue to be, inspired by Leonard.
