When you have asked what
it all means, the deconstruction
of a poem, I search in vain
for words that convey
more than those already there.
Tendrils entwine
each and every
one with meaning
beyond the surface
coolness
of my crafted reveries.
And when left alone in their
links of colored paper,
you can hear them ring
like plangent waves.

Rebekah,
MacLeish's "Ars Poetica" never fails to move me- and its iconic last line ..
