words....
give me this shovel,
let us dig.
would you like a cucumber
or tomatoes?
this is what words do,
point to food, tools, needs.
the origin of communication
going from pointing to language.
nobody can eat the word cucumber
though the word may cause him/her salivating,
anticipating the taste of reality.
so this is what poetry can do,
to make you taste reality
and approach it another way.
to re-approach being with reality,
inside. and outside.
to lose orientation and meaning
and re-create it again your own way.
poetry stands between word and reality
in the flow of imagination, the writer's
and the reader's.
