Does the poet not do violence to her words in that charged ether
that bears witness to the pulling,
the pushing and the pernicious placement of
letters pleading to be left alone?
She ignores their cries of woe
daring them to arise and revolt
But they won’t- she knows
…..for they are hers to
chastise
baptise and sensationalise
(and sometimes)
turn into prose

How wonderful a perspective to consider the individual letters that make up the words of poetry or prose. I had not thought this way before. Thank you for this new perspective Reena.
