All poetry is an ordered voice
That we can summon forth from
Several stages of our lives
It’s a little voice with big heart

I don’t think poetry
Is something that can be taught
It lives in the brain of lovers

Who can only let it guide them
The very essence of poetry
Lives wild in experience
A first tribal mutation

Of the music of mutation
I like poetry even when I prefer
To write it than read it

It’s wide open and wanders
And wonders in a permanent state of grace
With a mutability of spirit
It’s a vision of what could be

And an ocean of our inner-being
Poetry is the secret in all nouns
And the transcendence of all verbs.
