The Day Poetry Was Born<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The day the banished couple<\/p>\n
sat desperately trying to sew<\/p>\n
together the fallen leaves of paradise,<\/p>\n
was the day poetry was born.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With the first steps they took away<\/p>\n
from that garden, poetry became<\/p>\n
a mountain of trees, overshadowing<\/p>\n
the two they left behind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Walk now with them.<\/p>\n
Remove the unnecessary leaves.<\/p>\n
Move in pure sound and naked images.<\/p>\n
Say with me: \u201cFuck the rules!\u201d<\/p>\n
And do not grovel at the feet<\/p>\n
of any god\u2019s conditional love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Trust your desires.\u00a0 Follow Lilith\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
She will shelter you from the coming rain.<\/p>\n
She will open the better ark of her body,<\/p>\n
and invite you in, along with all the others<\/p>\n
left to drown.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adventure with her with the raven\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
Let them go in search of land<\/p>\n
and hope like hell it\u2019s never found.<\/p>\n
