Introduction

Structure #1, free verse

I don’t need your
rules, your regulations

but
I could do with a little
structure

but
nothing big, see

I don’t want it
overarching,
concealing my sky

also
nothing solid, see

I don’t want it
undermining,
hollowing out my
solid ground

so
shaky footfalls
falling silent
lent me wisdom
domesticated me —
meaning is lost
ostensibly
