Another day,

sun spills its cream

THREE from
THE OLD POET SAYS


“Where did it go?”
they asked.

“Where did what go?”
he said.

“Now you see it,
now you don't.”

*

“Lies, a fragile
tissue,” he said,

“and truth not
much more sturdy.”

*

“Pay attention,”
he said. “One

moment can
undo you.”

THREE from
THE OLD POET SAYS


“You mean you just
sit there waiting
for words,” they said.

“Yes,” he said.
“There's poetry
in waiting.”

*

“It is the rush
to expression,”
he said,

“which spoils it.”

*

“Yeah,” he said, “this is
being a poet.

I can
do it all day.”
