Poesis (1996)

To build or construct out of component parts
something which can stand alongside the wonders of nature
and the ancient monuments

To write
not a description or a retelling
but what it IS

Build out of language
a natural edifice



Each small body of words is one piece
one marker in the monument

And because of this
there are echoes of the whole in each part
past present future

Tho the subject is inconstant, inconsistent
full of unstable vibrations
