Why and What For Poetry

Poetry is not for
           erecting the concrete of the world,
           but to realize the abstract ...
          It’s not making material,
          but densification of the ethereal ...
          Poetry is elegy for a
          dead feeling,
          or consecration of
          living
          thinking..
          Poetry does not come
           from common place,
          comes from the bowels
           of Dreams... !
           And you poet that of hers
           if it serves ... what  do you come for?
           To hunt laurels
           or to sow
           raptures in this
              life... !?
