Michael Dom Poet Concrete

Eat Poems, Drink Them

Eat poems,

Drink them.

At first

You meet it

It is a high feeling

Your heart soars upon it

Your mind races towards it

Your hand reaches out for it

To catch a fleeting thought

To capture lightning bolts!

To clasp at fleeing breath?

Gasp! But no! Suck it in!

Swallow it to your belly

Let ferment, foment fully

Let the fleet feat stand still

Let lightning come to earth

Let words be your breath

Make it a deep feeling.

Then let it speak.
