the ungatekept poem shunned being enclosed -
sun spoke the unencumbered poem before its
spokes were enumerated & circumscribed -
what did it mean to gatekeep a poem? it meant
worshiping the friend & differentiating the integral
it meant snagging the sung into so many fragments
you could no longer call it song the new poem has
the same bark as the oldest tree soothed with the
sharpness of water and the roundness of sky, the poem
meets ink in remembrance, the cord is thrown off its
moorings & the trail of cordlets form a vapor that
makes story out of birdsong -
