Is poetry a subtext of the personal?

Does the poet write to understand herself in each revision? Is poetry mirror-making?




Easter. And what construct is any holiday? Reveals/reinvents. No chunks of this/that. Small plates, bright colors, fragrant as hand-picked rosemary.

  1. Risen, he has

    Massive folds of cloth and hymnals by decree
    What if too many foreigners
    cross themselves in the yard?

    She's pointing at the rain

    "They're saying too much, much too much"
    Unmanageable crowds on the platform
    And way too many payphones

    Lights the fire anyway
    Lights it up again
