Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

To Pour

We pour parts of us into
every poem~ a self-inflicted
wound, the point of a pen
drip, drip, spurt, spurt – a Fever 
Abater --  

Ideally One’s Spirit~ a positive Universal 
Donor!
        
Breaths and words, inseparable
are cousins with heartfelt translations -- 

Life-force, heart, soul~ Divine opportunity inherent in
every vehement articulation – may our pronunciations
be those of love and forgiveness~ “Live long and
prosper” as that Great Vulcan, Spock, bade us.
