saved from what?
a therapist asked me
“so what does poetry save you
FROM?
how could I answer seeing
myself at the bottom
of a deep
well with no
escape the sky
gone
nothing but
cold
empty
dark?
If you can’t find
joy and
you’re weary of
tragedy
find whimsy catch the
wind and……fly

The therapist needs help!
Yes, exactly!
Maybe he really was asking. You gave a good answer. What does poetry do?
Yes, love this
Poetry, like life, is a beautiful process, and I’m glad you are a part of it (& me, too).
