Amanda Gorman took poetry

To the stratosphere

Choreographed vocabulary

That seared with simplicity

Pausing digestions

Wrenching away partisanship

A cauldron of optimism

Her windpipe drives

A nail through hate

Syllables brought to life

Gerry rigging hope

Corralling tender troops

Emptying fear

Letting anxiety dissolve

Hailing down democracy

An American

Leading us through the labyrinth

Of freedom
