Sometimes the poem	A
doesn't want to come	A
it hides from the poet	B
like a playful cat	C
who has run	D
under the house	E
lurks among slugs	F
roots spiders' eyes	G
ledge so long out of the sun	D
that it is dank	H
with the breath of the Troll King	I
	-
Sometimes the poem	A
darts away	J
like a coy lover	K
who is afraid of being possessed	L
of feeling too much	M
of losing his essential	N
loneliness which he calls	O
freedom	A
	-
Sometimes the poem	A
can't requite	L
the poet's passion	D
	-
The poem is a dance	P
between poet poem	A
but sometimes the poem	A
just won't dance	P
and lurks on the sidelines	Q
tapping its feet	L
iambs trochees	Q
out of step with the music	R
of your mariachi band	L
	-
If the poem won't come	A
I say sneak up on it	L
Pretend you don't care	S
Sit in your chair	S
reading Shakespeare Neruda	L
immortal Emily	T
and let yourself flow	U
into their music	R
	-
Go to the kitchen	D
and start peeling onions	Q
for homemade sugo	R
	-
Before you know it	L
the poem will be crying	R
as your ripe tomatoes	Q
bubble away	J
with inspiration	D
	-
When the whole house is filled	L
with the tender tomato aroma	L
start kneading the pasta	L
	-
As you rock	R
over the damp sensuous dough	U
making it bend to your will	V
as you make love to this manna	L
of flour and water	K
the poem will get hungry	T
and come	A
just like a cat	L
coming home	W
when you least	L
expect her	K
