IF
The Promise of Old Poets
J.B. Rowell
If I wake early,
just a couple of hours
to take a walk and sit,
it will come
like a fox hungry to be tamed.
If I carry tools,
in an wood amber box
with a thin, dry handle,
it will oblige
invisible forms of the past.
If only I was a morning person
and good with my hands.

me, too!
I loved the amber box too, this is excellent.
wow - thanks ya'll.
They really make it look/sound so easy, when these old(er), famous, successful poets write handbooks: just get up early and write, just go for a walk and stand in front of a flower, just read lots, just do it!
Sorry for sounding like a Nike ad . . .
