Too Much Poetry Poem by RIC BASTASA

so much light
so much of this feeling light
bouying lightness of being
flying lightness on dancing steps
on the clouds on this night near the stars
so much poetry to write
and read and spread
too much feeling and life
pulsating to my veins
this love

this poetry tonight
even without the wine
even without the full moon

like what Li Po tells me
this world on this glaring monitor
alone with my fingers and thoughts
