What is poetry?

poem  © Jesús Montero


GROUND ZERO + 11


*****************
What is poetry?
The solution to my puzzles?
A fast track into my heart?
Is it an outlet for my emotions?
Code breaker of my subconscious?
A theurapeutic arrangement of the alphabet?
Is it the expression of my soul?
An unrepeatable moment,
Put into words?
Or is it a cocky monologue
That stabs me in my back?
And escapes.
Running.
To seek comfort
In the ears and lips of others?
