"I wished for what I always wish for. I wished for another poem". -- LG
Every poet knows that wish,
knows how the turn of a perfect phrase
is next-of-kin to a royal flush,
and headier than wine or praise;
And every poet knows the fear
that each new poem sees their dower filled,
and comes to their own terms with the idea
that a poem is a gift, not something willed.
