Step 9 of 13 Ways Of Looking At A Poem

Standard

9.

I’ve tried to explain
how the whites around
the words are so important
to me those silences I caress
on paper breaths spaces
make the poem

After Wallace Stevens poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

 

California Notebooks, Dec. 2013

Standard

could poetry be

a way to dig down

and out to listen

 .

to silence interpreting

clanging sounds

to separate words

 .

suddenly come

alive in the arms

of your mind

 .

ready to be

grasped and placed

tiding up logic

 .

a string of letters

a hum of sounds

aligned with soul
