B: Xxxxxviii: A Poet Might...



A poet might settle
For beauty.

The beauty of ease
He can explain
By the lure
That lies in ripe fruit.

But the allure of ease
He cannot explain,
Nor the allure
That lies in dis-ease.

A poet
Might turn aside from sadness
Then realise
That love relies
On the sadness of ripe-fruit.
