Poetry Should.

Poetry should move some
Beyond the statistics 
Not symptoms in dead ends
Enclosed within cornets 
Murmuring of numerous
An elaboration perhaps
For the entangled dictions.

The spirit moves
From end to end
In fastidious freedom
Some instructs to convey
I heard it singing other day
By a black birds in transit.

What the poesy demands
I demand
What the spirit sings
I sing.
What it declares
I should declare
Into the depths of being
To which I will declare.
