There Is An Animal Inside Me, Clutching

Poetry To Me Is Prayer.

To Be Without God Is To Be A Snake / Who Wants To Swallow An Elephant.

I Said, The Poets Are There I Hear Them Singing And Lying Around Their Round Table And Around Me Still.

I'm An Empress. I Wear An Apron. My Typewriter Writes. It Didn't Break The Way It Warned. Even Crazy, I'm As Nice As A Chocolate Bar.

I Tied Down Time With A Rope But It Came Back. Then I Put My Head In A Death Bowl And My Eyes Shut Up Like Clams. They Didn't Come Back.
