my poetry is for me
i do not want to sell it
i do not want to edit it
my poetry is for me
i do not want you to read it
i do not want you to dissect it
i do not want you to critique it
my poetry is for me because you gave it back
and i received it back
and now i do not think of any audience
but my eyes
leave it be where it was born
write your own stories for yourself
