Lightning From Sparks Poem by Evangeline Ingram

Lightning From Sparks

Rating: 5.0


I stole a poem today,
Found it pressed between leaves
Of a book in a store
Filled with a thousand books
None of which I cared about.

It leapt out at me
Like lightning or fire,
Struck something, and settled.
(I left without buying.)

Now I wonder
If the poem in me
This wild, half-known thing,
more feeling than thought,
Was once caught in words,
Chained down to a page.

I am afraid to check.
