a poem must be written

Post by cmoore » May 6th, 2017, 6:50 pm

the surrealists talked about the found object
this is a way of seeing a thing in the world
in a different light, this is how they saw
art and poetry, looking for that difference
or as the French use to say viva la difference

this comes through in the great Japanese
or Chinese poets, because they understood
stillness between the breath
that point from which everything revolves

great poetry is like a wave outside of matter
passing through matter giving the appearance
of what the Dao de Jing called the mother
of the ten thousand things
a vast wave that comes from within
the mind of the poet is always at the beginning
