She asks how it feels
to write a poem a day,
and I think:
You know!
YOU know.
It’s like being in your studio
surrounded by found objects,
piecing color and texture into narrative,
making whole what was separate.
It’s just working with words,
sewing meter and memory,
stitching stanza and story,
making whole what was silent.
You know?
YOU know.
You nailed it!
