Poetry is the shape of eternity
and all equations rest beneath it
Poetry is the rinsing of the sky
& every petal is its form
Verse is the answer to the Question
tell me the truth, to "Starry Rhymes"
Poetry is the comet
that traces every crimson couplet
Verse is the cage where
doors stand ever open
Verse is the sky
where wings trace nothing
but worded Grace
Poetry is the rolling out
of bloodless drapes on innocent arms
Poetry is Word's way of wanting
& the stone where all waters flow
Poetry is the wending of the wires
for all reciprocated toasts
Verse is the Endall that Ends All
Poetry sings
when doomdreams singe
Poetry is the Full
when people think Empty
Poetry is the faint smell of the grate
where all bread is baked
Poetry is the shape of eternity
and every relation runs under its telling
