Poetry is a type-font design for an alphabet of fun, hate, love, death.

Poetry is a projection across silence of cadences arranged to break that silence with definite intentions of echoes, syllables, wave lengths.

Poetry is a dance music measuring buck-and-wing follies along with the gravest and stateliest dead-marches.

Corn wind in the fall, come off the black lands, come off the whisper of the silk hangers, the lap of the flat spear leaves.

Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. Shovel them under and let me work. I am the grass. I cover all.

Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.

I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.
