living through the words - not enough sometimes

an enlightenment: 
even those living through words
are - 
sometimes

lost for words.



for there are -
one would be
surprised (!)

things (well, not really things, but something else)
which are so deep

that no -
words
could
ever
reflect

  1. you might not finding words for many reasons not necessarily just because it is so deep. i think you are in some sort of idealisation of words

  2. the first thing they teach in "introduction to poetry" is that the "writer" is always at least one degree separated from the "speaker" of the poem. In other words, the "I" of the poem is NEVER EVERY the writer. Never assume that the "speaker" is the "writer." They are two different, separate personas. Hope this helps you with the rest of the poems...
