Dear Subscriber:
Today’s poem is a poem about the sudden epiphany that occurs in those rare and precious moments when we encounter things directly, free from the words in which they are clothed.

Rare is the thing that makes a point
Of its integrity.
Most lie swaddled in our words,
Indifferent to ideas.
But every once in a while one
Insists on our surprise,
Penetrates our cinema,
Reveals to us its silence.
