Peircing Gaze and Razor Pen

What draws a poet

to look both at and beyond

the ordinary?

~

Longing deep enough

to strip away the surface;

endless search for hidden truth.

Subjected

Like Henri Michaux,

poets should write what they know,

so what will be your subject?

~

Sassy sons who plague

their mothers with questions such

as this is what I know best.
