Thank You Pooja
This is what art does
It inspires you in ways that fills your
Heart
This is what poetry does
It wraps your head like
Pottery-on-the-way
This is what it sounds like
To hear a symphony of
Voices
This is what writing is like
To see and feel something
Other-worldly
This is what it looks like
When someone’s able to
Put words in my mouth
Words that remind me of the
(what did she say?)
Unproductive attention that’s poetry
Thank you Pooja for putting
It into words
The four actions of poems
A light
A drawer
A thread
A door
Yes poetry is all that
In this crazy dark world
So preach it Pooja
With delight and verve!
