Unreasonable
this turbulence
of heart
inducing me to run
toward
not from
into the arms
of the songs
primal
aboriginal
heard sung
from the womb
before I was.

Write about a poet you know … how you as a reader connect to their words. The only rule is do not mention the poet.

“turbulence of heart” is just a perfect, perfect description.

The intensity of the emotions is heightened by the short lines…almost like gasping for breath as one might if experiencing such intense emotions.
