If I Had A Poem Now

IF I HAD A POEM NOW

If I had a poem now
The light of the morning
Would be true light.

But the lines I have just written
Are not strong enough.

The light is still the light
And a new day
Is still a new day

The poem is perhaps
Somewhere else
Later.

So why do I write this,
And call it a poem now?
