where the pen goes
is self-evident poetry
why the pen goes
enigmatic the poem
a surprise to the poet
compulsively sketched
tangled tantrums of
meter and metaphor
notions escaped from
the prisons of passion
provoked upon paper
no thanks to the mind
of the poet but owing
their freeform discretion
to free self-expression
endogenous influence
flowing from disengaged
fingers to live on the page
so beautiful!I love the “the prisons of passion provoked upon paper” bit. Paints such a vivid picture ๐

Evokes a thought: the non-liturgical churches which eschew the liturgical soon enough develop a liturgy of their own, though it be a liturgy of chaos . . . Iconoclasts, we are all still prone to our own rituals, aren’t we . . .
