A poet got lost in his own poetry
And could not find his way out
Instead he went deeper and deeper
Into the world of his own self- reflection-

Lost
He nonetheless continued to move
Poem after poem
Deeper and farther and longer and older
More and more lost-

A poet got lost in his own poetry
And never got out-

Shalom Freedman
