letterpress - first project
consider which poem
to print first
it doesn’t matter
but mind likes
significance
gift for a friend
thirteen lines
just nineteen words
sensible
title, dedication,
body require
different fonts
italic, too
they need relate
pulling out a case
of type the heft
the weight
this new task
hands fumble
yet in someway
familiar
immersion
required mind
wanting rhythm seeks
patterns
lead, velvety
so dense
different tactile
from stainless or steel
fingers start
to find their way
Ooh, exciting. Great to get your fingers dirty!
