i want to write a poem
here in this neapolitan sunlight
smog drenched sea air
i want to write a poem like donne hölderlin or laforgue
my mouth bare of word magick
unable to unfurl intonation to unprison spirit
i want to write a poem
devoid of mortar rhetoric
which clots the mind
this is my poem
nonviolent justice
nonviolent education
nonviolent sexuality
nonviolent childbirth
nonviolent labor
nonviolent economy
nonviolent medicine
nonviolent childrearing
nonviolent right
nonviolent looks
nonviolent food
nonviolent philosophy
nonviolent transportation
nonviolent machines
nonviolent machines
nonviolent oil
nonviolent industry
nonviolent dreams
nonviolent drama
nonviolent power
nonviolent heights
nonviolent jargon
nonviolent fires
nonviolent freedom
nonviolent art
nonviolent religion
nonviolent movies
nonviolent childbirth
nonviolent lovers
nonviolent being that children dont kill
except with snowballs
nonviolent winds carry concepts
across the thick sea of blood jam poetry
and exaltations
