Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Bravo for taking on such a challenging form, Malak! This poem is wonderfully, deeply philosophical and psychological. You valorize those “Tumultuous wars within that try to/Eradicate despair’s darkest emptiness,” the struggles of hope that refuse to give in to villainy and the void. Powerful poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell
Double Acrostic
Existential Void
E xtenuating circumstances Vie to the
X ysti to try and rest Omitting
I ntentionality of an existental voId
S ublimating intensions of Destructively
T umultuous wars within that try to
E radicate despair’s darkest emptiness,
N ever allowing it to overflow with
T he love, faith needed to defy Villany
I nterminable in its need to destrOy
A stronomical strength that Intensifies
L iving in the light of hope, never Denouncing the void.
