Poetry

1.19.22

Blessed and glory be:
Poetry

The spoken sound
The penned puzzle put together
The love letter

The soul shaped into something
knowable and sharable -
diminished of course - -
actually perhaps fully erased
in the fiction that is transmission
but like the fire found
between twigs and logs
poetry passed between one another
encourages the souls piled together

	to burn

to devour themselves of what they are
and to expand into the sky
and to fill it with what
they will be -

That’s the power of poetry
