THE ATTIC WHICH IS DESIRE:
the unused tent
of
bare beams
beyond which
directly wait
the night
and day–
Here
from the street
by
* * *
* S *
* O *
* D *
* A *
* * *
ringed with
running lights
the darkened
pane
exactly
down the center
is
transfixed
from Poems, 1930: the word becomes the poem, nothing beyond the word itself – cf. * SODA * – but everything in it just the same; WCW was an atomist, a catalyst and maybe, even, an alchemist, but he was not a dogmatist or a fantasist and definitely not a rhapsodist, although he was a poet, and very often-enough, didn’t know it
