When Poetry Calls

I can’t remember
The last time
I lived in Poetry like this,

The last time
I let Truth
Strip me so naked I couldn’t run,

The last time
I let Presence
Sink me so deep into loneliness.

I can’t remember
The last time
I let Inspiration cradle and rock me like a baby,

The last time
I faced Pain threatening to rot me
And said, “Shhh, come change the world.”
