I draw these letters Alphabets I was taught The day draws its images The night will blow them over Forever, they are mere words Writing in the sand Symbols do not return They are invisible For the rest of years No one will read Poems left unpublished No one will read Novels burnt before Marketing, but writing Is my way out, my music And my bread, the milk And wine of my loneliness So what am I to do? These poems sharpen My emotions, they love me Across the night Where I am but a ghost In the conjunction of stars I drew these letters on A white canvas, they are More me than anything Else I have or will own They know me better Than the women who come And go in my life I will tell them my secrets Poetry has set fire To all poems, but I am that Living fire, I am that warmth Of a thousand glorious sunsets.
