Does Poetry Have a God
Does poetry have a god?
I wonder as I write,
Re-write, delete, delete,
Save….no wait….
I sense a presence
Hovering over my fingers
As they search
Each keystroke
Hesitating, conspiring
With …. With…something?
Some one?
Sorting through the ether
Of individuality
Shunning the mantra
Of clichés.
Sticky fingered demons?
Celestial conspirators?
Battling for a loose “word”
In the corner
Eying a fast break
A buzzer beater
PRINT!! PRINT!!!
Raise your hands
Shout….
High fives
Shared
With a mystical muse.
