Peace of Mine

​

Writers, unlike most people,

tell their best lies alone.

Reading Wild Fruits

your last writings and I

have to say Mr. Thoreau

Sir, you Th-row me

the rope the life

line of prose that is

your only poetry.

You buy a blank book

like this one and

name it like prophecy

The Common Place book

which – not the common

place book – tells me

everything about you

Mr. Thorough.
