POETS (A Poem)

POETS

All that we know
is how to set the words on fire.

We do not know
that the burning words
warm up those feelings
which are chilled to the bone!
They import
a little bit heat
to frozen thought
and lifeless reality.
They provide a hint of warmth
to shivering dreams
and tired out breath.
We do not know
what the burning words imply.

All that we know
is how to set the words on fire.
