Come again
One World Poetry
Started started started Long live the Eighties Life and life only –
Not much to say about otherwise
you have to find it out for yourself
let yourself be devoured by the poetry and gorge on it, enjoy it
swallow it and spit it out : waving with the winds solid in the storm
free in the magic forest
on the road with language
tearing a crevice in the secret winner and loser of pain Let it be your own life
don’t get misled by another surrender and give way: poetry is a sea
that reflects the stars water level
native land
everyone’s mouth everyone’s eyes
tears that never dry
smile that never disappears
