Erín Moure
Purpose
(from The Elements, House of Anansi, 2019)

To draw text as one draws water from the zone
beneath the house.

To articulate all the texts of a life, as they arise.
Not separating them into poems and essays.

Creating spaces for words on pages as if they were walks or
benches.

Drinking coffee.

Drinking another coffee.
Sun on the wall. Just
sun.
