John Lee Clark — Self Portrait
Poetry Unbound
The Power of the Verb I Am
This is a poem of self portrait by John Lee Clark on the morning of my 42nd birthday. The verbs start off needing, muzzle, inhale, sniff, giving and then go to dig, scrape, pats, rests, step,. Five times there's this other verb that's conjugated: I am. What a powerful primal verb to speak about being. This is a poem looking back at itself, experiencing itself, knowing itself. And we are too. We are introduced as such warmth and love and knowledge and family through this beautiful poem.
