Warrior Poet

When I thought I could simply live a poetic life, without writing poetry.

 crystalline, pure genius

The Warrior Poet, purged of all that is not basic

he is animal in his action, in his instinct for killing without feeling

yet he feels great affection; his love of language, the most sacred human miracle,

is complete and refined.  In the most literal sense, he is two people,

the killer and the lover, so he sees the insane twice.

And his thoughts and actions meet to form a perfect edge,

upon which the entire world rests without ever being harmed.

This man entreats with life and death alike

and confounds both.
