Daniel Trevelyn Joseph - Keep ready

Beginning of a poem emerges
From within: an inner faculty
Builds it with wriggling words:
It is lightning at night, and
Once it passes, there is greater darkness.
Foetus eaten up, leaving pain.

Not written down it is lost for ever.
Kept a pen and paper in the car for this.
