Poetry

structured language
 phrased 
  to hear
         fragments
                   of imagination
skip from mind
to lip

inner influences
driven forth
           compelled
by
human breath
               expelled

fresh enigmas
once
obscure     crystallized
where 
   indentions     pause

words 
      to say
a process
       caught by day
a one-off
    as is
        twixt 
               you&I

a mayfly moment
   immediate
     ethereal
passing near
intoned
   a dead object
til
it cadence
   hits the ear
