Poem to Poem by Merritt Waldon

for Thom (the World Poet) Woodruff


Poet to poet
Poem to poem
Footprints to photograph
DNA of tomorrow
Re-assembled in moments
For sand castle tides

Poet to poet
Poem to poem
Fingerprints of prosody
DNA of eternity
Re-assembled in voices
For playground slides

Poet to poet
Poem to poem
Ancient fire to electricity
DNA of madness
Re-assembled in hollows
For boot-leggers of love

Poet to poet
Poem to poem
Spirits to eclectic seraph
DNA of disobedience
Re-assembled in revolutions
For a consciousness of lights
