or lurk from your shelves

in your trembling hands

If this book doesn’t change yougive it no house space;if having read it youare the same person youwere before picking it up,then throw it away.
Not enough for methat my poems shine in your eye;not enough for methat they look from your wallsor lurk on your shelves;I want my poems to be in your mindso you can say them when you are in loveso you can say them when the plane takes offand death comes near;I want my poems to come betweenthe raised stick and the cowering back,I want my poems to becomea weapon in your trembling hands,a sword whose blade both makes and mirrors change;but most of all I want my poems sungunthinkingly between your lips like air.
