Does the poem truly come from a poet?

Or is the holder of the pen a rod for lightning or divination? Or the conveyance of gestation? Let’s assume a poem comes from a poet. Therefore, is a poem composed of a similar percentage of water (99+%)?


Of food fragile the egg & steadfast. Convenient container for the wait. Yellow, too, optimistic.

  1. Away

    on the rock by the stream he sits still
    and turns over the letter
    she sent him
    his first with a stamp
    and return address
    to know she is somewhere
    else
    would other days make him sad

    this time the sun hits his back
    and he takes in the heat
    of her hand on the paper
    the thought of her
    thinking of him
