Absence of the poet

Yes, it's been that long.

Pressing thoughts to paper

when being erudite didn't seem possible

and release felt so far away.

Thus now, it comes

the dam bursts

the words flow free

even though

the debris clouds

causes eddies

whirlpools of doubt

there is no structure

there is no form

all the beauty

all joy

all the pain

all life

flowing bitterly,

flowing blithely.
