:::::::Don't be afraid

::
Don't be afraid
of grammar---
Don't be a slave
like your grand-
ma whose voice
was murdered
by your grand-
pa's timidness
& lukewarm blood
::
Don't be afraid
of grammar
It's a formalist's
begger who can't
go no farther
than his own
unmothered
vision poor
& artless even
blind to his
own heart

:::one-arrow-(more-than-two)-birds!

your first stanza reminds me
of your recent translations
of ancient female poets
whose voices have been deeply buried
and reheard through you!!!

dead [grammar] rules
are great killers
for imagination
and freedom
and listening
