power of poetry

i can’t stop thinking about amanda gorman and the power of her words, which seemed work through her whole being as she delivered them and became an expression of something dependent on words and more powerful than words. i saw someone on instagram refer to her as having “solar wattage”. i would agree. she was blinding. i made a little poem today, a haiku of sorts, in asemic japanese, in her honor, using my kind of language, and coming from my whole being to hers, with thanks for giving me hope after so several hopeless years.
