Where Do Poems Come From

Snatches of sunlight

A rock slide of memories

A boulder-sized anecdote

An itch, a twitch, a shiver, a pang

A crackdown

A crack-up

Footprints leading somewhere

Boiling cauldrons

A ransacked storage unit

Subterranean caverns and blue lagoons

a spark, a lark, a romp, a spree

Detritus-filled flood waters

The back of the refrigerator

Loose change

A glimmer, a glimpse, a glance, a sigh

Word gardens

Stillborn dreams
