Lacquer. How is a poem like lacquer?

Is in the patient process, applying layer upon layer perhaps 50 coats. Which coat is most visibly felt? Are poems fine accommodators of the unseen but deeply felt? Does the comparison fall apart as lacquer is impermeable to liquid?


Of food, so many shown to great advantage in an eloquent lacquer bowl -- from Miso soup to raw English peas.

    he stared at the light
    It was critical

    Somebody shouted fire
    and we quit
