We ask wild feats of writers Unselfish word-bleeders For work that is numinous Words for joy, laughs, and weeping Us hungry feel-feeders Eat verses voluminous
We absorb works in moments They divest force in phrase Emotion frames numerous Words for light, love, and darkness Channels hours and days Air-weightless and luminous
We call comedy writers Carefully humorous Use joking for distance Words for howls, roars, and giggles Sweet-flavours existence From bitters that ruin us
We challenge dear writers To capture the cumulous Joyful, enlightening Words for life, growth, and knowledge Anxious, heart-tightening Funny or humourless Instructions in humanness
