Poem

When seeking to write
a poem, no need to
descend into deep, dank
mysterious wells of 
creation – after great depth
only to come upon 
one's ignitable soul-fuel

my muse, for example, 
far more accessible, generally
wearing just a glistening
strand of peals, basking
in a warmth of sunlight

for poetry is less the self
making new composition, and 
more a process of internal revelation

one's own essence 
radiating back the lyrics
of a poet's exclamatory spirit

calling up and out
for conscious reunification 
with the Divinity of  
All Declarative Being – 

the celebration of freeing
that which is already
written  – a penetrable 
gazing crystal entrancing 
artful nature into greater
self-awareness – 

hidden truth distilled in 
each vein long before 
the tea and patterned reading

the poet first learns release
if to learn poetry; begins 
by turning those internal whispers
into clear explorable volumes

slicing open, and peeling back 
the skins of words, shattering 
shells, releasing flocks of
phrases and images, making
yoke-leftovers into omelets 
stuffed with eclectic tastes for
sharing

one writes to consume

and be consumed – 

poetry, a sacred ceremony of life and death~

the poet his own baptizing priest while cold 
handed embalmer.
