Un-spilled




Unscripted oceans
Ebb and flow
Somewhere inside of me
A surging, swelling
Undertow
Of un-spilled poetry

Where is the key
To set it free?
What seals this aching flood?
The rising, falling
Agony
Of poet’s un-spilled blood

How do I trace
A formless face
Or spell what yet is not?
And how do I
Escape the cry
Of a poet’s un-spilled thought?
