      I saw a man
      striding along gold,
      he was dusted
      with curiosity,
      a purple glow emitting
      from his cheekbones.
      And when I stirred,
      he was silent.
      I wondered what
      made him so,
      for I was only
      perched on a branch,
      flicking debris off my wings.
      And at dawn,
      he slept,
      slipping away like owls.

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like poetry because it’s the one form where I can choose the right words to describe how I feel without bluff. It’s a tool I can use for my honest, artistic expression.”
