Possession
Inside me lives someone who writes poems,
Someone who has no words but from time to time
Borrows my words, whirls them through the dance
Of his purposes, then returns them.
Someone who has no words but from time to time
Borrows my words, whirls them through the dance
Of his purposes, then returns them.
My only evidence for his existence
Comes when I find poems upon my desk
Ready for me to revise.
When did this happen?
Comes when I find poems upon my desk
Ready for me to revise.
When did this happen?
Though I have never known who scribbled them
In secret, still I know my job.
I find them ready and waiting, I take over.
Possession they say is nine points in the poem.
