What does a poet need?

To be a poet is the end goal
 you achieved it. what did I achieve?
 you reincarnated Jesus,
 not as an animal or human not even a fucking  life form in fact but you just put him in a sonnet in a cluster of words. 
I'm not religious as such 
but my god poets resurrect.
Feeling in a rhythm.
The physicality of it is uncanny 
Words that I wish would slip past my tongue. 
My god poets can resurrect.

What pleasure it must be to bloom so sweetly.
Does the words come in lavish amounts?
Once I find my hand, fingers and knuckles.
Pen to paper, finger to lips would it come naturally?
We will see could I bring air back to lungs deflated by time? 
May I stumble to present my work or hold my tongue as they look at the beginning 
My god poets can resurrect.

Must I find a sense of place?
drip a cigarette between my fingers
Papered apartment full of old heroes of song,
Who now are quite as you write the new.
Ability coming naturally  you insisted
Do I not need a Parisian perspective
Or do I need ordinary to flourish private extraordinary.
My god poets can resurrect.
