P. 44
a poem turns inward
a poem turns inward
from its rim of words
to its hub of meaning
by what is left unspoken.
a pitcher enriches
by voiding its fill,
nourishing the pour.
the inside of a cottage
discloses by its open door
nature’s leafing.
a rope has many uses
before it is used,
but only one during.
its strength is tied
to what is knot.
(with apologies to Lao Tzu
and his “Tools”)
