The words are only signposts.
An
image, after all, is just an image.
Poems
are about what is never said
since
narration only appeals to the eye and ear.
Search
between the words and lines.
Look
to the open, empty desert for meaning.
To
read nothingness is to become a Zen master.
Why
do you suppose there are spaces between stanzas?
What
is all this about, you ask.
I
can only guide you. Jesus wept.
I
shall tell you a story, but you must open your eyes.
Or
perhaps close them. Take this poem, for example.
~William Hammett
