A POET'S IMPLICATIONS

You set out
apprenticed for life
with your hands on
stalking words as proofs
in language shadows
of apprised verse
from unlettered reason
of imminence of rhyme
in attuned hunches
of turned on verbs
unloosed sentences
and suspected convictions
hiding in concave lines
surfacing from
your  short earth-wise time
impacting your own survival.
