intuition by rism | One Poem Only
A daily reading from One Poem Only—a quiet space for a single poem, read aloud.
intuition
rism
Pattern recognition is a
cognitive discipline —
congenitally decided for most,
congested with emotion.
Not to boast, but
I’m a fucking psychic
functioning on fumes and faint traces
of a beauty
who previously inhabited
this body, this brain.
I mainline cues.
It’s smooth, yet dangerous —
an almost cancerous paranoia.
Sometimes wildly,
the past is a tool used primally;
utilize your history.
Intuition powerfully promotes fruition
passionately if tempted.
Trust in the process prompted
by your progress.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
