I Didn't Choose Poetry: Poetry

Things Are Tougher Than We Are, Just As Earth Will Always Respond However We Mess It About.

I Never Think Of Poetry Or The Poetry Scene, Only Separate Poems Written By Individuals.

The Trees Are Coming Into Leaf Like Something Almost Being Said.

And The Case Of Butterflies So Rich It Looks As If All Summer Settled There And Died.

So Many Things I Had Thought Forgotten Return To My Mind With Stranger Pain: Like Letters That Arrive Addressed To Someone Who Left The House So Many Years Ago.
