Frank Bidart Quotes
Though the body is its
genesis, a poem is the vision of a process
Out of ceaseless motion in edgeless space
Carved in space, vision your poor eye's single
armor against winter spring summer fall
1932 drugged to sleep by repetition of the diurnal
round, the monotonous sorrow of the finite,
within I am awake
repairing in dirt the frayed immaculate thread
forced by being to watch the birth of suns
4226 The stratagems by which briefly you
ameliorated, even seemingly
untwisted what still twists within you -
you loved their taste and lay there
on your side
nursing like a puppy.
