for afternoon, all afternoon for night;
and still the longing sings.
Oh, paper bird with folded wings.”

“WHAT IS A POEM?

Such slight changes in air pressure,
Tongue and palate,
And the difference in teeth.
Transparent words.

Why do I want to say ochre,
Or what is green-yellow?
The sisters of those leaves on the ground
Still lisp on the branches.
Why do I want to imitate them?

Having come this far
With a handful of alphabet,
I am forced,
With these few blocks,
To invent the universe.”
― Ruth Stone, The Essential Ruth Stone
