Inert by Rachel Turney after Amelia Wicker | One Poem After

One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now. This month, One Poem Only presents One Poem After, featuring selected poems written in response to the poems shared during National Poetry Month. Each piece began as a conversation with another poem and became something entirely its own. Today’s poem is Inert by Rachel Turney after Dystopian Dirges (United Healthcare) by Amelia Wicker.
