Poetry Is
January 21, 2014
Poetry is writing with line
breaks, cracks and crevices in
the very earth upon which
we teeter, on the verge of
falling into blinding light or crushing darkness.
Poetry is writing
with line breaks, hairline
fractures between us and
those we have hurt,
ready at any moment to spread into
a shattering valley.
Poetry is writing with line breaks,
slits in your heart that bleed
into words on the paper.
When at last we are anemic and
exhausted, poetry is
writing with power to heal.
