The Gemini Poets

(return to policy of new poems)



I am amazed by the way,
mr poet hacks away
at the dictionary, the bible & the
words stuttered in his bed
to say something with an edge
as precise as stone.

it is the white spaces that amaze
where the brain has picked at the eyeball
at this cuttle fish, to let the air in
around the words - manured under a caged bird
where the sleeping vocabulary in the black
can only come out with this hack

so precise - each person does it in his own way
creates a slide & polished ride around a skull of words.

amazing - so precise...
