Don’t confound poetry with freedom
Poetry needs practice
needs discipline
needs choices
Permanent choices
A word or another
A hidden word or thought
To be grabbed out of the mist
Out of the fog
A word you heard
A word of memory
A word of experience
A truth coming out
Of this labour
A truth
A pearl
A stone
Shining
Crying out its sense
Feelings which can be shared
Or understood
This truth creates reality
New reality
Or old reality
Reality has no age
You cannot exerce this activity
Without responsibility
You will always carry on you
The reality you create
And try to save yourself if it’s
Not shining in the sun
Or under the moonshadow
You will be beautiful
As your words are
Strong as them
You will discover
Worlds
If your duty is to be free
