Poetry Beyond Adulteration Poem by Raymond Farrell

Poetry Beyond Adulteration



Swallows
piv
-0
-ting
in air
diving low
skimming
the water
to drink
and
a lone red-tail
hawk
spi
-ral
-ling
down
are poetry
beyond adulteration
unappreciated
unless seen
in the flesh
words serving
as faint ambassadors
of what is.
