Lament - Up
Fisher Point, Utah  I extract words from the lichen growing on boulders,I rob the wind’s breath for inspiration, I arrest the hawk’s flight to drink the juice of power,I plagiarize the twisted shapes of pinion pines to form sentences.I am poet,the thief of what was given for free on filaments of love. The modern bard burglarizes;broken is the connecting thread between word and soul;having avoided the dark places of wisdomthe images within a songare dull, empty sounds. . . But the forgotten picturesstill attempt to knock on the poet’s door,to seize the imagination, annihilate the individualmerge the lovers,and meet the one who dares to jump straight into the fireto die and resurrect. An alchemical transformation. Now the new language makers,extracting words from within the color of lichen,endeavor to retrieve the lost souland project behind each soundthe eternal truth of who we all are. My words only become truewhen you who listen 

put them in my mouth.
