I tried to be a poet for hire
Meditated on what might inspire
Found myself stuck in the mire
My notes bound for the fire

He was a poet for higher
Consumed with noble desire
Encouraged others to aspire
His words echoed by the choir...

A coil
Bound and twisted
Crimped and bent
Unwound
A wound
At the center
The core
A sore
Rewire and twist
Make a coiled nest
Hide the mess
Today and tomorrow
And the counted days before
Pulling constantly to get it straight
Watching it coil back into place...

If I fell behind
Let me be
Rewire my mind
Until I see
All that was
Will be and is
Given to me
Have I not 
Mastered my craft

Enough of a laugh
Pretend I’m the sky
Crack the earth
And fracture into
A million pieces
And you
You just go on
Nonchalant
An infinity
On your arm
Let it be
Supple sultry
And free...

building skills and aiming for mastery;
Open the door  
renegade instigators for hire,
able to express themselves so freely;
If you feel stuck and are feeling badly 
upgrade to an optimistic rewire;
Open the door....

until the right reluctantly awoke.
His right hand turned
to inner paths.

They tried to rewire him,

unofficial routes.
Teachers gave up on him.

He drew his own mind maps
explored them.

Eventually, by chance,
he found his place
at the center

his two hands joined
to the logic of creative
prayers...
