"By action of redaction / Undistracted I would be / If only in refraction // A poet as poetry"


Poem Artwork

Running in Place

 

Written without contraction

With the whole heart

Abstraction as reaction

Such is the art

Of a misfit motley man

Groping for grace

 

Growing as fast as one can

Running in place

Trying to outrun the past

And that one face

Of both love and hate at last

Running out of time and space

 

Contradiction

Embracing absurdity

With conviction

By action of redaction

Undistracted I would be

If only in refraction

 

A poet as poetry
