THE POET



I am the wandering poet,
I do not sleep
I am wasting these days in the dregs
Of the deep.


I live in the church of myself
Bizarre & unfulfilled,
The spirit of the waking man,
And the fool, the reckless fool.


For I am walking round the circle
From the outside looking in,
I am the shadow on the wall
And the wall is growing thin.


So can you see me?

Only Here …

And There,


And Now?
