My Poetry

Old melodies, frivolous words, and late night coffee,
Too many books, thoughts, and anchors,
This is poetry for me, my poetry:
Sentences without verbs, 
Sentences with fragments. 
A dirty room, a basket full of laundry, and 
Chipped nails with scraps of blue.
What defines life?
There is only one thing-the constant
Rise and fall of sternum,
As I exhale carbondioxide and inhale oxygen.
This is life in its raw fundamental Self,
Not Art, not Poetry, not Beauty
But human breath-nothing more.
