Some Things More Important Than Poetry Life,and people-work and family Commitments made to be honored- Births,deaths,funerals,pain- Witnessing at the passing of others Periods of necessary silences Times when all poems blow away Times when one must be lost - in a crowd or alone/on Internet or phone Times when to shop is of utmost importance! Eating,drinking,sleeping,dreaming Whole lives when nothing particularly happens! Gaps between-travelling.Growing into rituals-Reading,listening,absorbing Praying,meditating,waiting Every participle participant particle Every authenticated distancing mechanism Poetry must wait at the intersection of thoughts and feelings and feed upon the scraps again.
