Exactly So

Exactly So

not for others
do poets write,
their minds churning
for pithy words
so exact that mind-
meaning quavers with
delight.

no, poets search internal
engines for truth-
telling on their own
watch,
keeping themselves,
honest,
telling themselves,
to be exact.
assuring their own psyche
quietude,
so madness does not
steal their souls.
