Damn this teaching,
how weary, stale, flat it seems.
The profit lies
in undiscovered language,
stones upon a broken beach
in need of polishing;
freedom lies in certain combinations.
Now if I had my way,
I’d make for that scrap of blue
between the trees,
or open the quiet chapel
on the mound.
A slow walk in an out of season town
would do
for counting stresses.

I could never do spoken word on a stage but I’ve come to really enjoy expressing myself that way

Only the poet knows the subtleties of rhythm and phrasing in their own poem. Your audios inspired me.
