1. Glass - written by Robert Francis
Read 3151 times on American Poems.

Embossed glass hides the poem of its absence.

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

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

A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

The poem of the mind in the act of finding
