The Poet Clan

And if I write,
how does it mitigate
the difficulties
inherent in living?
And why
is it so important?
Once a poet
climbed down a mine shaft
and got buried in an avalanche
a thousand feet down
under a million tons of earth.
Pneumatic drills worked nonstop.
They finally opened a narrow hole
down which they sent
a bucket on a rope.
The poet sent back up
a simple note:
'At least I can write about it! '
If you are one of our clan,
you'll understand.
