How To Read Another Poet's Poem Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
How To Read Another Poet's Poem
how to read another poet's poem:
carefully, as if a world hung in the balance:
sapphire, suspended.
as if you were the wind
turning the page.
without rage, animosity
the hidden sharpened knives.
simply, as if you were a child
learning letters one by one
by blocks of the red and green
in a land without clocks and
in, if possible, impossible:
the fairy tale's gleam
