When it was not clay, when smoke stood up, when the cherry hung with snow, I picked a stone and aimed it beneath the blue of day. The bones of man, the long road, how idle and alone.
I write a poem
to forget that
my story is half-told
and will always be half-told
until I die and it is not told at all. All poets wish to be prophets, foretelling moments of non-existence, sculpting the half-story into a satisfying lump,"To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question..."
