how to write a book of poems

 how to write a book of poems


sit for a long time

staring

the flow of clichés

down the rivers

of thought 

of life

stay sitting 

let the leaves flow past

one after another until

in the col of waiting 

one here

another there

step aside

courting one another

in their roundabout way

a chain

forms 

to bind the book 

that will lock up your heart 


now


throw it into the depths of could have

stand up

walk away


courting a thought
