And she’s pretty and kind and... (Read full poem)

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

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

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 or its absence.
Words should be... (Read full poem)

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

Some days I am Ana's teacher, some days she is mine.
