Advice to Young Poets (For Twohawks)


.
.
Without a car & all alone
amid the green leaves
in your fire tower home.
You ordered a seclusive life.
.
Outside the door, alien creatures
offer new temptations,
citadels of other than this
uncompromising program.
.
Narrow is as narrow eats,
don't squelch wild strawberries,
you're all alone as you asked.
