What is Poetry?

poetry is like a fish
trying to break the surface
of the conscious.
poetry is the language
of the primitive
speaking in tongues.
a poetic philosophy
is a belief in illusion
and the power of poems.

like an affliction
or a virtue.
a society for the preservation
of poetry will show
how history was made.
engaged in poetics
the science of truth.

without pieces.
