(and seven)
the poet builds
a Boat,
the reader
provides the crew
and sets it sailing;
a Chapel,
and it's the reader
puts the choir in it
and fills it with music;
or
a Space,
that gets fitted out with furniture
and becomes a room.
The poet
takes a black page
and with his pen
absorbs the ink
and discovers the poem
in its centre.
The reader builds
a Poem;
the poet
is wont
to be unavailable.
