"Writing Reading Dumping" by Joe DiMino.
Writing, reading, and dumping;
Dumping while writing and reading—
Trashing before dumping;
While trashing dumping—
Never trashing
Even when dumping;
What we call trash
Fertilizer for something
Leading to fruit
For new dumping—
Bacteria—human
Our association
One of editing poetry—
Some dumping
Some trashing,
Breaking-down
Becoming fertilizer
For some species of new ripe—
I recall the blossoms
Most all,
The sun on them before picking
The singular blooms
That came before maturity—
Words carted to penning
And then pruning;
The inspiration in its
Uncorrupted, undigested state
Of perfect being—having just become,
Just formed and not yet
Left for the processor
For further pruning
From something hardly mortal
I once adorned while imaging—
Before leaving the divine
To write my
Usual leftovers—
