modern poetry
They're older school;
The same type acculturated differently;
Genuine.
I've had to define and redefine my output within a culture.

A related type of endeavor.
Everything sifted through, decided on, turned.
I suppose that's the hardest part;
Entirely foreign,
Densely ornamented
Songs.
When he hears them;
Specific and unrelated.
