You don’t need to varnish morals:
They already come complete.
So take off the moral veneer:
There’s humility underneath.

A poet is no more than a person
A mother
A daughter
A lover  
Someone needing release
Or someone needing to recover


It’s the art they create when that ball of ink or stick of led dances on the canvas they so perfectly prepared.
And when the end result and their purpose become perfectly paired.

Tangled up with 2 serpents unable to break from their grip
I'll succumb to them both
maybe this old dog will learn a new trick
