This Time the Page is WaitingPoetry

Poetry
Peter W. Chaltas
​
​This time the page is
waiting for the poem.
No need for the lines
to force their way
on to it ,
and into to it.
There's no violation
here this time,
only a white willingness
of the page
to be inscribed
with the blackest letters,
as permanent and
Immutable
as a ratio
of golden means,
that is
pricked and inked
into the page
divinely
as it
lays spread out alone.
 
Today the poet
is an ink artist,
in a skin parlour
with a willing client,
who asks for the inscription
to be made,
regardless of the pain.

Very nice, Peter. I remember you from the popup store you had in Bloor West. You were kind to me at a low period, and I gave a number of your poetry line t-shirts to the family at Christmas.
