Hearts and Bones


You know how the words
inside the body of a poem
can pulse with rhythm
and resonate with music;



how they frame the 
experience of the poet;
how the words carry
the presence of place
into your mind;
and carry you 
into the mystery?

This is the work of words:

Constructing meaning.
Creating a connection
between writer and reader.

Sharpening your senses.
Igniting your imagination.



Entering your hearts
and your bones.
