    No Place in the World

    there is no place in this world for a poet
    a poet has no home in the hills or on the beaches
    in vibrating crowds
    in cozy homes
    or beneath icy stars

    there is no place in this world for the quiet longing
    for the divine hunger
    and haunted silence
    reaching beyond peace
    for an imminent almighty god

    the voice of this world crushes meaning from the soul
    as the thresher robs beets of all sugar
    as time removes love of all but memory

    shelterless
    naked
    destroyed
    the desperate poet
    can then only persevere
    emerging beyond every failure
    into the bright light of a god never worshipped
    and true as blood
