Letter 26 – Poet Dead Man Writing

 

Loneliness

is four quiet walls   no trucks beeping   not

necessary to clean  tho the time

for tidying’s emerged

pure & round   yet the

poetry is missing.

 

The

poet blunders through another August

for kicks

that shouldn’t be posted on a website even for a

moment when it

ceases

to

be inspired

a  poet

dead

man  writing.
