You!
🫵
are a particle,
a self dividing cell,
which are
“the very foundation of life,
enabling growth, repair, and
reproduction through processes
where a single cell splits into
two or more daughter cells”
every poem, a cell,
every poet, a daughter,
all poets, parenting
there are no patents on poetry,
no solitary copyright on letters,
no satisfaction
from and for
the constant craving for
insatiable rearrangement
the endless spouting volcano,
comes from each individual spark,
you write,
the volcano grows stronger, wilder,
the dust storm more encompassing
If
you!
🫵
stop,
then we are all dissipated, lessened,
diminished/\eroded
new poets,
you are
our building blocks
foundational
if you give up,
we all die
your wrights
are reserved
by and
for each other
never let your soul flame
be extinguished by criticism.
