inkgot

inkgot 

feel before you write - but write.
desist from skimming the dross 
to line any old mould. Rather,
pour the gold and
let the ingot verses shine
in the treasury of all the wrinkle-
handed books leathered in time. 
write your name in gold and
they will say, this is what he thought;
and although the margins for error will be blank, 
they might smile a watermark of their own.
