All that’s serious
in writing today can only
appear in poems
poems that appear
as independent
physical entities
for poetry the bitchin’ one
to occupy momentarily
or remain empty buildings
locked rooms
where poetry did
once show
or is still expected
any moment to arrive
approached from many
conflicting tides
all we know of poetry
is what comes from
mere poems
so little in so much
like all we know
of gravity or space
comes from crass
reflections of a
knowledge buried
so deeply in plain
sight it’s finding
a few drops of
the golden spring
occasionally or not
would we survive.
