From Poet to Poet
For what cause do we construct?
A museum of art?
A retail outlet?
Schools of thought or
a place to rest our heart?
Do not regard poetry solely
from the lofty towers of academia;
examine the depths
of the dungeons of the soul,
the narrowed hallways of life,
the inner courts of conscience.
Truly, perform the art
with proper tools
to exact a structured edifice.
Yet, peer through the outer facades
and between the pilings
to what makes a castle a home.
1995
