to stand as poet

 or to fall on

the sword of call



one must decipher

the script on blade

”translator”



the words are reflective

what say you

what do you



the poet poets

a parrot of ways

this story, this



sword, drawn

from the sheath

This feels profound, and also almost dire.



"the poet poets" reminds me of the line "the just man justices" from Gerald Manly Hopkins's As Kingfishers Catch Fire, and also of the final chapter in Siddhartha, where he addresses striving, and how we already are what we will become, simply by being.
