Poet
A poet is a freelance investigative journalist
on voyages of discovery to unknown lands
With hands dwelling in clouds and grey stars
opens their petticoats searching for the hidden
Mind restless as a school boy eating hot potatoes
investigates why humans live and die on earth
The tongue vibrating as xylophones on timber
questions what is heard, unheard and said
Ears permanent residents in the bushes of life
are secret listeners to conversations of creatures
Soul escaping and wondering whole universe
sails the rough storms in search of ultimate reality
A poet’s nose is a test-tube in a laboratory head;
testing molecules to explain life equations
