Primeval Will
A poem is primeval will as strong
As impetus in evolution for
Our trees around the globe. The words push, long,
Enduring as a Giant Redwood, core
Of heartwood at trunk’s center. Poetry
Demands that humans write it, speak it, sing
Its stanzas everywhere. We are not free.
We have to write it. As an angel’s wing
Is part of him, the poetry inside
Us proves that it and we are fiercely grown
Together. We are closer than a bride
And groom in bed while making love and groan.
Inseparable are poetry and men,
A marriage made in heaven, rhymed amen.
