creep through the small door
the large door
towards the sleeping poet
large on the small bed.

Poetry is something
you say
to take for yourself
not to steal

but i do not listen
i go closer closer
so many bells in the background
i walk to his side.

Poetry abounds in his head
i snatch an idea
bells ringing
and run
