The Poem: One to Bloom
I should be writing
the future,
but I falter
in the now
My imagination
boxed up
in spreadsheets of
artistic functions
Sums of worth –
formulas I don’t fit
each space
squeaking out
a song
I feel forced
to sing…
Let me out!
To consolidate
the sun with the cave
to be a fool
making shadows
on the wall
saving poppy seeds
through another
dormant snow.
All I want is:
myself & every-
thing & every –
one to bloom.
