Poetry Offerings from David Michael Jackson | Poem

 



 
 
 

Once Every Lifetime

when the muses meet
they will say
that summer comes every year
I say that summer
comes
once every lifetime
but only if
you 
listen
only if you
care
to listen.
Each moment
carries
a poet
in a cage
dragged through
the 
street
