Poetry does not sell...

poetry does not sell

because

most of us could not

tap

beyond this flesh

but that does not matter

as long as you read

and for whatever reason

it slowly works on you

like when you first

discover the air

we breathe

poetry

is that consciousness

of the harmonious belonging
