The Hunter and His Prey

I don't know that a poet
has life outside his poetry – 
Oh!--on occasion
he may run with an exterior
pack...but bones of their kills
soon draw him back; not a 
soul to be found, once all meat
stripped away – little real
difference between hunters
and their prey –

Un-composed music & pen it’s I was in tears at the end of this one, Joe. Another of yours for which I can comment Truth. To me this is close as one can get to describing the ineffable of describing the creative Process of Poetry. Walking the cosmos, to actually handle its un-composed music & pen it’s whispers!! Thank you. An honored Fav!
