How to Eat a Poem

Don’t be polite.

Bite in.

Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that

       may run down your chin.

It is ready and ripe now, whenever you are.

 

You do not need a knife or fork or spoon

or plate or napkin or tablecloth.

 

For there is no core

or stem

or rind

or pit

or seed

or skin

to throw away.

Unfolding Bud

One is amazed

By a water-lily bud

Unfolding

With each passing day,

Taking on a richer color

And new dimensions.

 

One is nor amazed,

At a first glance,

By a poem,

Which is as tight-closed as a tiny bud.

 

Yet one is surprised

To see the poem

Gradually unfolding,

Revealing its rich inner self,

As one reads it

Again

And over again.
