Ruskin's Valentine

How what is poetic is not poetry
Ruskin is not a poet he is actually
a scientist of the aesthetic
a perfectly assiduous one
but poetry is what hardly ever shows up even in good poems like a just
beating of the shubbery
until long-eared poetry leaps out munching on the nonchalant mind
of course as a figment or a pigment
it refused to eat its concepts
so now it has a longing for
violet that sphere of the nameless
demanding something of us
in which it turns and leaves.
