Why Write

Please click to enlarge.
























To say the trees are bare,

The day is dark and buffeting,

To say it's raining in a vacant room.


A wooden match and a few pages

Of The Threepenny Review

Are enough to start the fire,


A few lines excised from a raging heart

Enough to warm the mind

And fill the emptiness with flame.
