I have sometimes written a poem without having to be aware of the writing
You see, the poem aside from its writing or typing is an entity of its
own. It is seen, heard, felt, paused,
And squeezed out from behind the corner of the eye, the eye that is not
an eye
.
One where seeing comes in a whole other spectrum than
The usual one –not one you can manufacture here –one that exists already
It comes of its own accord like twilight or dawn, nothing can stop it or begin it
.
When you pause in the words, you’ll see a whole shift of light
It can easily be blocked, consciously or unconsciously; but if you let it be, everything takes on a different tone
For that time when things look as they do in between
.
The poem appears, it comes into its own, and recedes as if it has breath
[those reading and writing access it equally yet different]
It cannot be said even which comes first, the one who reads or what writes
.
And being is like that, too –am I myself or something else
What moves this now, not such that it is a hall of mirrors
But the something else continuously speaks itself as if I were the pen and paper
