BURNING HOUSE PRESS

So It Is Said

opening weather
listening to clouds

writing poetry, they say,
is a form of concentrated listening

ears follow whispers
skin touched unexpectedly

someone is shaking out words
a long bridge to a sentence

vacant spaces
writing places
coming clearer
trampled onto the page

just a minute ago
that, which almost became…
still unfinished
