apogee

unbeknownst
to all
but us
a secrete
kept in the corners
of our smiles

tried
have we
to explicate
to one,
or to many,
how it is
we came to be
as such
yet no string
of vocabulary
could extrapolate
the metaphysical
grandeur
we are

even
a poem such as this
is but a blemish
upon our
indefectibility

Love this, and love Sad Sara's comment. There is sort of a conjunction, here of unspeakable things trying to be born on our tongues or something.
