Poetry should begin with emotion in the poet, and end with the same emotion in the reader. The poem is simply the instrument of transferance.

On me your voice falls as they say love should, Like an enormous yes.

I don't think I write well - just better than anyone else.

I am always trying to 'preserve' things by getting other people to read what I have written, and feel what I felt.

I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.

What will survive of us is love.

I didn't choose poetry: poetry chose me.
