Poet of the Streets

EXCERPT from Poet of the Streets by Jack Micheline, 1960

...
a poet walks in the cold wind
his head raised humble and unafraid
death around him filled with waste and banners
death all around him
walking alone with birds above the canoe shaped moons
sounds are heard and the sky glows in darkness
I am not afraid.

Remember dreaming in color and joy
Don't filter or desaturate it
Let them move in accidental life
And love in ridiculous wonder
