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.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
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.

Embossed glass hides the poem of its absence.

Listen, children:
Your father is dead.
From his old coats
I'll make you little jackets;

The blatant horns blare strident sound;

My passive arm, but I have found
Content in the harmonies.

My poem would eat nothing.
I tried giving it water

Day after day,
I held it up to the llight,

more tightly together.
It grew sullen, like a toad

And moldering into decay;

In its silent lips to-day.
