What is a poem?
An intricate tale
Or a story that failed
A bird in the sky
Or an addict that got high
An intimate refrain
Emptied from my brain
So go slow my heart
Or feel the dagger
Or the dart
As it sinks into senses
Senses without fences
That just went bust
A child and a flower
A smile in a summer shower
Poetry is you and me
From sea to shining sea
