'the window' by Steve Brock | States of Poetry SA - Series Two

by
States of Poetry South Australia - Series Two

I wake up
in the middle of the night
in a panic

about my dead-end job
the credit card
the housing market

until poetry appears
like a window
I go through

& compose
a couple of works
of genius

by day light
they won’t be much
of course

but it’s enough
to get me
through the night.
