Poetry as Freedom

Note to self: remember that G.G. Marquez said that poetry is the only concrete evidence of human existence.

Thirty words in a poem.

This is how I have stolen

thirty seconds from the stream of time.

Now words float like free radicals

scavenging pain from hearts

and minds.

Ana-Maria Schweitzer: Poetry is my self-help. I wish some of my writing would resonate with my readers. I think art is a necessary form of moving through time, shedding the excess ego we accumulate. Writing is my illusion of leaving a trail behind.
