JOHNMICHAEL SIMON POETRY

every word

must be considered

with utmost discretion

syllables

polished so that

when disclosing its

deepest buried secret

 

it is like a gem

in the hands of

a polisher

or a tuning fork

struck only once

to emit its

unique

glowing

tone

 

only then

may it be strung together

with other words

into a phrase

of perfect harmony
