"By here & now I"

By here & now I
here by
here swear aloud

Where ever ,  when
if ever I am allowed
what the gods will allow me

I vow myself to allow
this space to speak
these words I sing


My verses shall be finely chiseld
my verbs struck from stone
and my nouns stripped from bone
and the meat of my meaning
laid bare

In poetry
in prose

The heat
of each word of each verse
tossing and turning
spinning me back and forth

Verb       versus       verb

like thorns       in side me
weaving       a rose
