The Devolution of Poems
February 17, 2015
For some people,
the words stream from the pen
Fall from the sky
And land gracefully on the line.
A side effect of madness
Born with words in their mouth
Ideas in their brain
And a song in their hearts.
For some people
The words fall flat from the pen
They torture them out
And tie them askew to the page.
A side effect of madness
Born with glory in their eyes
Iron in their bones
And fire in their heart.
