Every poem tells a story…
To the reader
And of the poet
It’s revelatory, this little story…
Yet both reader and poet
Seldom know it!

In this world of heartless consumption
waste of human life to the whipsaw;
never did so little mean so much
when one lonely deer in a field
saw you and you saw him
nothing else mattered...
as neither blinked.

Wallace Stevens said:
"Poetry is not personal."
He tried never to divulge
anything about himself
in his poems.
Or so he said.
But, the work
is self-revelatory, veiled confessions,
repeated choices -- water, sea motion,
weather, the sky -- introspective isolation --
those silences and descriptive phrases
that communicate and characterize.
Human,
no one -- especially not poets --
can really hide.

THE OTHER GOD
It is a rare noise I hear.
Those sounds that seem to say:
I could be a pond; or
Have been a reflection.
Knees that are forever bent
Into a prayer of all things.
I am in each thing.
The aspect shown,
The one that is most needed.
The slope of spring untended,
While walking toward an answer;
always visiting myself in stranger’s clothes.
I don’t think anyone imagines
quite enough these days
To meet
Their other God.
