Gestate? How long does the average poem gestate?

First, there's no average in poetry.
Second, it's the poet and not the poem who is conceived and developed.


Now, how long does a peach gestate? Depends upon whether it's the fruit or tree under observation.

  1. In the picture on my bureau
    he pushes the swing he made for us
    sun in my eyes
    big trees to hide us
    he, immortal in his khakis
    hair white and wild
