i
Poetry
begins in psychiatry
and ends
in carpentry; Christianity
was the
opposite
ii
The poet talks
hard, praying
backward to her-
self & finding
no Messiah
but ghosts, no
rock
but the work,
no truth
but in the word,
no power but in
form,
no Master
but the crafting,
no disciple
but the echo, and
only at her desk
a place to kneel
...Ars Poetica by Madeline Tiger, Montclair
"No truth but in the word." Wise words from a wise woman to start the week. Vote for your school budget. Remember who taught you to read words.
Keep reading and writing,
