This poem is not addressed to you.
You may come into it briefly,

You have begun to vanish. And it does no matter.

in the women's tent
how the moon when she rises

quarry, where the river shrugs--
how much of... (Read full poem)

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit,
Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb,
Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
Of casement ledges where the moss has grown--
A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

Words of a poem should be glass
But glass so simple-subtle its shape
Is nothing but the shape of what it holds.
A glass spun for itself is empty,

My poem would eat nothing.
I tried giving it water
but it said no,
worrying me.
Day after day,
I held it up to the llight,
turning it over,
but it only pressed its lips
more tightly together.
It grew sullen, like a toad

Why was I not devoured by self-contempt,
And rotted down by indifference
And impotent revolt like Indignation Jones?

And why, though I stood at Burchard's bar,
As a sort... (Read full poem)

Of tourney touched his adversary's shield
In token of defiance, but in sign
Of homage to the mastery, which is thine,

There it was, word for word,
The poem that took the place of a mountain.

When Mother died
I thought: now I'll have a death poem.

if you talk about it before it is done.
