a reading

a way to skip through
April
is to attend a reading
or two

and then take it all in…
and let your mind
imagine
the poet in your home

to find as they share
their actions
in grinding coffee

or in communing
with food

that they too,

look out a window

see a robin eavesdropping,
head cocked
heeding the worm’s turn

or espy a rosebud
beginning its journey
to unpetaling

and that poet,
such as you might,

would be inspired to
fling open their
mind

unfolding how
this early bird
jerked and hauled on its
breakfast

or how the perfume
of the rose
saturated the garden

so be amazed
at how your mind
works

just like the poet
whose reading
one attends,

who simply in
garnering an idea,
taking pen,
paper,

writing

but with desire
and passion

resembling you

you've renewed my desire to reattend readings - my poet 'friends' I miss more than I can say - all you've said is true - and you've said it most beautifully

And, in many cases, not as talented as you.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
