Gift

by Philip F De Pinto


Is anytime
You make a rhyme
Of the day or night
A gift from God or demon?
Or stork?

I am loath
To say
It's semen
To be both
Harp and pitchfork
Work and play
And portent

To light
Ejaculated of clashing swords
A square-about way
To make two ordinary words
Feel important

Always love what you do with words, man. You do indeed have the Gift.
