New poem: "It"

 

“It”

 She almost has “it|,”

but doesn’t quite know it—

another experience, another

poem, another nanometer closer.

Then something she said gave the poet

away: “Most of the time I feel as if I’m in

service of the poem,” she said; but not until

she sees that “it” is in equal service of her, will

she have “it,” and Jane will be whole and complete.
