how to start
Open
the
poem
with a sentence.
No,
Open the
poem
with
a sky
folded into a sentence
.
No,
Open the
poem
with a sky
built backwards to confuse the silvery trained
dove
s of your eyes,
and to send them somewhere
new.
Call this place home
,
and do not keep cages there.
No!
Open the
poem
with a
crowbar
!
Pry meaning from the
spaces between words, otherwise this
black paint will dry over the
seams and the poem will
gasp
and not be let out!
No:
Open the
poem
without struggling.
Let the fish think itself slipping away
like
mercury
or
a rhyme
for silver
.
Let it shimmer under the darkest blue
getting smaller and smaller until it is a
star
in a sky built backwards
and do not set the hook
until you are out of
lines.
