Catharsis
Words are magma
Thoughts and feelings
Truth and grammar
Love and healings
Lava doming
Surfacing
Erupting
Exploding onto paper
Hard drives
Tape and memory
To read and perfect
For future study
Until swallowed up by the past
Or another’s perception
And forgotten forever
Unless they be the Words of God
John Christopher
1984
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
