Is the poet more like an architect or a builder?

Or:

electrician
plumber
carpenter
glazer
fine finisher?

When the poem does not feel of being constructed, then, is the poet a weaver? A seamstress?





Poet & cook. Do they intersect when they are at their most painterly? Or when practicing riffs? By the way, what menu scores the page.

  1. She crawls around the foundation

    and looks for points of entry

    a fading, a crumble, a hole

    in the concrete

    And then mixes up a batch

    of annotated nonsense

    just the ticket

    to plug a night of boredom

    and create a new lean-to

    a place where no one feels

    the chill of her sorcery

    too bad it all gets worn down again

    when the morning sun blasts it apart
