Because
Why write a poem
except to say
that this world and I
exist together?
Why write a poem
except to see
myself seeing the world
and know my place?
Why write a poem
except as a way
of breathing in and
insisting that it matters?
Why write a poem
except to have the time
to say something that
would otherwise be unsaid?
Why write a poem
except to see
meaning in what passes,
to be sure of small things?
Why write a poem
except to leave a trail,
to create an echo, to make
some mark and hope it stays?
