Why should God care for me?
I am one of billions of humans on this earth
And many billions more no longer alive
And these numbers too are small
...
I cannot help being so old as I am
And feeling so lonely and lost
Missing so much so much of the time
Feeling too much of my world has gone
...
The language of poetry is metaphor
And irony and ambiguity
And beauty-
...
ALL THE POEMS ARE A METAPHOR
All the poems are a metaphor
For another poem
...
A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF
A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF
A poem does not know itself
...
THE POEM IS A METAPHOR
The Poem is a Metaphor
It means ‘the world’
...
When there is no way out
When Despair is all
When one cannot see any possibility of some other way
When all is lost
...
THE POEM I DID NOT WRITE TODAY
The poem I did not write today
Will never be written.
...
THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN MY WORLD
There are so many beautiful things in my world
I only have to look to see them
