What Poetry Has Taught Me


I am tired of them.

The overused similes, the underused authenticity:

Poetry.

Except,

When I hear of the tree of man (the one that was never quiet)

 

I am pleased with them.

I seek my deeper meanings, such anonymity empowers Me: 

endows Me,

enacts Me.

Poems never tired me (I tired myself).
