poetry

We must enclose poetry

And read it in dark corners

Because it’s crazy,

Some poets say,

We shouldn’t buy it clothes

Or dress it in fashion,

Its clothing is rags,

Some measure it in steps

Or sighs,

And with Pythagorean calculations

They treasure it as their poetry,

Perhaps they hear a tick-tock

Or a melody within it,

Some gag it

Some kidnap it,

Selfishness wants to possess

The purest feeling

And they traffic it in exchange for monuments,

Poetry should be read

Locked within four walls

Some poets say,

But those of us who are not poets know,

That it’s not crazy,

That it screams its truth between sighs

That it possesses your colors

And your dresses

That it loves freedom

It can perch

On the rose

As on the dry branch

It can dance in numbers

And activate the tick-tock of your clock

Poetry is freedom

Because it’s you.
