A poet must know how to look,
The moon as the hair of the women,
He must know how to look at the intèrieur of eyes
As the removed roughcast color by a wall of bricks,
He has to cast the eyes as balls of tenpin bowling
And what these made strikes on objects,
On flowers as well as on skittles,
On the legs of the girls which overturn on a bed,
As on the stars which he discovers when he is drunk,
He must know how to look at the city which he despises
As much as that where he eats spicy shrimps,
He has to deceive useless things and feelings,
Open eyes bigger than windows,
On the American Great Lakes
Or the children murdered by suburbs,
He has to eat all which passes under its look,
He has to suffer when he lonely loves or when he drinks rawberries
He has to throw bridges on the eyes which he crosses,
He must know how to feint at the eyes of the crazy or the giants
He must know how to look to say that he hates
The greed of boudoirs and offices,
Consider at the world as an inventor of feelings,
Look at the women as a trainer of stars,
Because only he, knows what want eyes
When they do not know any more what to say …

sometimes, that poet simply *must know. I love the soft ring of feeling and observation here.

"...He has to suffer when he lonely loves or when he drinks rawberries
He has to throw bridges on the eyes which he crosses,..."

evoking a ton of haunted longing, among many other tugs.

enjoyed this!

Look at the woman as a trainer of stars

Of all the great thoughts expressed in your poem I adore the above most ... it really speaks to me.

And you are a Poet who KNOWS, it's clear!

Love,
Margherita
