conception

it is easier
working
with your hands.
the mind
free
of inconsequential
things,
free from
the small
details of
the world
that make it
devilish
and hard to
comprehend.
a poet without
a job
or money
is rich beyond
belief.
lacking love
is even better.
it's the hunger,
the struggle,
that allows
a poem
to be conceived.
