The poetry of felt words

The winter’s risen sun blazes from that

Wall-less hole of an unfinished house.

The laborer’s wall-less house on the road

Is not a house but a merely thought word.

A house exists without walls but with roof.

Only it has to rise from the earth, to the sky.

 

The igloo rises without apparent walls

But warm and white, on those icy wastes.

Houses exist without roof but with walls

But there is the sky-roof that sends down rain.

Such as the God of phallus lives without roof

So that the sky’s rain falls on Him always.

 

Like houses that exist without built walls,

Poetry is built without words but with felt words.

A girl of large eyes is floating to th’ sun ,

As ponytail and bag fight for space on h’r back.

Those were felt words on her schoolgirl back.
