A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

a poet’s work


to produce violently,

force the dark to leave

the room,

which is no easy task

and only accomplished by those who work to rule

the rule being to rise

above while on bended knee

asking brave things

of heaven while riding the waves

with ease,

replace chaos with

awareness
