Combined powder/Concentrate

 

Take poetry, but do not dilute it in the water,
it should stay as it is,
concentrated on a problem
concentrated on a solution
which is not visible on the horizon,
but the process is.

Poetry is not a powder,
to be diluted,
that‘s not why the metaphors
were sharpened
and pictures were
complicated
to the crucial details
which easily can
take you into
core of everything
by imagination.

You can take poetry
easy or fast,
depending on
the author or the style,
but never for granted,
you read it in a grasp
you write it in a grasp,
but is cooked for days,
you can do it easily also,
depends on preferences,
reread it after
in parts or wholes.

When everything passes.
Nobody looks at poetry
in the hours needed
to be developed.

Just like pain,
against whom it will appear
in the moment.
