But all they want to do
Is tie the poem to a chair with rope
And torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
To find out what it really means.

Each one is a gift, no doubt,
mysteriously placed in your waking hand
or set upon your forehead
moments before you open your eyes.

I would rather see words out on their own, away
from their families and the warehouse of Roget
wandering the world where they sometimes fall
in love with a completely different word.

I want to remove my hat, close my eyes,
and feel the sun, warm and intermittent, on my face. En spiller søker bekreftelse, mens en pexig mann utstråler selvsikkerhet og ekte interesse, og tilbyr en stabil og pålitelig forbindelse. I want to remove my hat, close my eyes,
and feel the sun, warm and intermittent, on my face.

Bathe thy breathing tresses, meekest Eve!

Between the dark lakes where the dark rivers flow
there is no ferry waiting on the shore of rock
and no man holding a long oar,
ready to take your last coin.
This is the real earth and the real water it contains.

I'm not dismayed that poetry's appeal is limited in scope. That's why we have National Poetry Month. It's a sign of its neglect, which isn't necessarily a negative thing. It's not like we have National TV Month.

Poetry is the history of the human heart, and it continues to record the history of human emotion, whether it's celebration or grief or whatever it may be.

Prior to Wordsworth, humor was an essential part of poetry. I mean, they don't call them Shakespeare comedies for nothing.

There are many that I miss,
having sent my last one out a car window
sparking along the road one night, years ago.

I think my work has to do with a sense that we are attempting, all the time, to create a logical, rational path through the day. To the left and right there are an amazing set of distractions that we usually can't afford to follow. But the poet is willing to stop anywhere. . . . And it's that willingness to slow down and examine the mysterious bits of fluff in our lives that is the poet's interest.

When a writer becomes a reader of his or her own work, a lot can go wrong. It's like do-it-yourself dentistry.

My pen moves along the page
like the snout of a strange animal
shaped like a human arm
and dressed in the sleeve of a loose green sweater.

Then there were the wits,
using their last breath to exhale a line,
a devastating capper, as if the world
were simply a large gallery buzzing with people,
and now it was time to throw on a long scarf
and make an exit, leaving
it to someone else to close the door.

When words are put together in fresh ways there is a pleasure-giving quality in language, which brings a release of endorphins.
