Marie Howe

Oh, the coming-out-of-nowhere moment

when, nothing

happens

no what-have-I-to-do-today-list

maybe half a moment

the rush of traffic stops.

The whir of I should be, I should be, I should be

slows to silence,

the white cotton curtains hanging still.

[Vikki C. @VWC_Writes]

For @TopTweetTuesday, a piece inspired by Wallace Stevens' works, admired for his examination of poetics, world themes infused with a subtle political tension & elegant natural imagery.

Here is 'For each absence, I gave it a voice'

Thank you @MatthewMCSmith & @blackboughpoems.

If the kindness among writers often astonishes me, the cruelty makes me wish I could disappear. Books and music and films are the most generous places I know.

The words in poems are for the most part the same as those we find everywhere else. The energy of poetry comes primarily from the reanimation and reactivation of the language that we recognize and know.
