humbled in soul break
pray, pray now
as i should anyway
first in thanks for life

Poetics (again)
you know all that ‘poetry is all the right words, just the right words, in the right order’ stuff well, who would argue with that? but, i was thinking – partly as i’ve been reading Rumi, and partly from my own, very occasional experience — and hey, maybe this defines my limits thus far as…

it is the uses we word
that are gone
