Poetry: Words For It by Julia Cameron

Words For It

by Julia Cameron


I wish I could take language
And fold it like cool, moist rags.
I would lay words on your forehead.
I would wrap words on your wrists.
"There, there," my words would say–
Or something better.
I would ask them to murmur,
"Hush" and "Shh, shhh, it's all right."
I would ask them to hold you all night.
I wish I could take language
And daub and soothe and cool
Where fever blisters and burns,
Where fever turns yourself against you.
I wish I could take language
And heal the words that were the wounds
You have no names for.

Three short nonpoems

~

It is difficult to write about poetry

How it must be grand
to be worth something


It is poetry if it is about your life

And if it is about life,
then it is worth something


***


It does not matter if it is not perfect
What matters is I loved it enough to see it written


***


Fear defines our lives,
Defines all life

There must be something beautiful about fear --
It exists, after all
