And at least in poetry you should feel free to lie. That is, not to lie, but to imagine what you want, to follow the direction of the poem.

Even this late it happens: the coming of love, the coming of light.

When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been.

Nothing is the destiny of everyone, it is our commonness made dumb.

In a field I am the absence of field.That is always the case. Wherever I am, I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the space where my body has been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole.

I tend to like poems that engage me - that is to say, which do not bore me.

We are reading the story of our lives As though we were in it As though we had written it.
