Quoted in the Grove:
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
~Francis Bacon
I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.
~Umberto Eco
A classic book is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.

again
cloaked alone
it’s love on the outs again
a bitter cold blizzard again
we let the fire go out
shut doors
to keep the heat in
knowing
tomorrow we feed the embers

Weave a cloak, wear it
Make it comfortable
Warm against blizzards
Well-tended and durable
Call it life

5-7-5 x 4
red blizzard of leaves
damp grey cloak of autumn fog
gobsmacked by the moon

cloaked identities
blizzard of escaped secrets
yeggs and unlocked doors

cloak numbers, play the tax game
tap dance to the bank
~
numb nuts and noses
cocaine blizzard in progress
cloaks the overdose
