Habit. Is poetry a habit?

With a particular body part in mind? i.e. heart, lungs, legs, mind? The levering of elbow, stretch of fingers so as to write. Flexing of chords to vocalize.


Similarities with cooking abound. Dexterity of muscle prepares food. The flexing of lips, flicking of tongue -- taste, season, and taste again.


Both healthy ones: this habit of poetry; necessity of a good meal. Both shared.

  1. ripe melons, the remains of a leaf--
    from an old notebook
    the semblance of a voice

    musing
    dry light/ seating arrangements
    hedgerows, cacaws, meringue

    now that argyle socks are back
    in fashion
