Line and Verse
In sparse words
the poet writes
choosing power
over fluff.
The perfect line
and word
and length
inked on the page.
The poet’s bow
pulled back
taut with arrow set
then flies
to strike a heart
if lucky
if exact
a breath gasped
a pause created
for the words
to step into
and change a life.
