Poem 1

---

 

Micheal asked me

are you more afraid

For having not read

Than having read

And i

Would send me

Fearless

 

Into the formless former

Of poetry

Seeing myself bleed

Crimson and gold and blue

 

Just to be

Prince of the muses

 

Just to be

a moment eternal

 

Just to be

 

 

Poem 2

---

 

My poems

Are not mine

This raw life

Is to be lived

;raw

 

This experience is shared

The yellow face smiling

The moonlight

Us

The crickets chirp

Raw beatitude of wind

Blue wind

On dark pink skin

 

My poems are

Not a stopping place

These poems are

Reverential for silence

Quietly singing

Go

Be in God

Be the poem
