Whipped this up spontaneously as a response to Derrick C. Brown's A Finger, Two Dots, then Me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jidS7djf0yM

It applies to all the poetry I love.


1
Vivid is a love song
Clarity a kiss
For specks of comprehension
I've lingered on like this.

2
Speech can knit completion
Language bridging rifts
Spirit loops a circuit
And I feel the planet shift.

3
Poignancy one-ups itself
The song plays through the spheres
A music that's electric, secret
angels in our ears.

4
You've consecrated closeness
With these rudiments of sound
A simple phrase that wanders long
And thus my heart is found.

A little corny but so am I.

Glad it made sense!

Here is the really excellent short film for "A Finger, Two Dots, then Me."

I didn't post it at first because the video kept stalling on me:
