gathering
and so we sit and speak of
poetry
sipping sherry and innis
& gunn
we take turns to read
various scribblings
talk about intention and
attention
speak of wounds and hope and
struggle
opine about the uses of
poetry
we live here in this shared
language
or the desire for shared
language
the rhythm of words and how
they connect
words to words and poets to
poets
spirits and bodies and
hearts
poetry is a way of saying
things
you cannot say in any
other way
one of us says, and we all
agree
with friends only it is
possible to be this direct
with friends only is it
possible to be this hopeful
perhaps we are even romantic
