It Beckons Me

Poetry beckons

I answer

A force

Eager to sell

Eager to buy

Why would laundry matter

In the face of beautiful thinking

Extravagant words

That ooze with richness

Words own me

Intoxicate

Poetry is as evocative

As it is passionate

It compels me

Sustains me

My song

My retreat

Poetry beckons

I answer
