Poeming

While craving for meaning, he stokes
                                            the ember,

                fans the flame of urgent, artistic madness
                                              for order;


                      but the mind sinks into the quagmire
                                         of the abstruse,

            and all that is left of poetic sense is deadened
                                        at the dead end.
