Priorities

Sarah Lucille Marchant

Sometimes it is right and good
to neglect poetry
in favor of
other worthier pursuits.

Sleep,
pleasant conversation,
trying on dresses,
kissing a little.

Inevitably you will return,
spelling your ink
and rendering your heart
in your own particular alphabet

if only to keep record of the things
worth neglecting poetry for.
