ODE TO A POEM
a made thing
this verbal construct
an event
in language
makers many
of fabrications
things of art
words&sounds
weighed
&valued
indifferent to reality
crafted
&woven
verbal artefacts
as a living entity
mysteriously conceived
delivered...
two moments
of a single pulse
twixt
voice&ear
one plane of reality
to another
a species of eloquence
figuring forth
to teach&delight
in the name of imagination
a spontaneous overflow
of moments
of solitude
visitations
speech framed
in thought&wonder
of subtle fire
&inward light
of revelation
in an imaginary garden
caressing nouns
with metaphor
saying one thing
meaning another
with
stored magic
from a room
full of marvels
a language in orbit
a remembrance
unearthed
a temporary ossession
intense
&undeniable
as a shiver
down the spine
