A poem, stirring in the firmament
swirls and waits in neon nests of galaxies,
swishing through the hems of ancients
getting caught on starry brambles
waiting, potent and pulsing

by a simple sack-clothed woman
believing in moments of inspiration
that she sparks and has flash
of phrases, sputter along a string
from her to that which makes her
bloom in language she knows
the origins of
