green blades ...

to these times
of ricepaper souls
leaf tenders torn
along the folds

a frayed frontis
and foxed-page scripts
binding menders worn
among the old

oh, walt long told
of whitman's voice
read across the miles
of fresh-cut space

as "leaves of grass"
sits quietly still
its greenest smile
blades across my face

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.
