POETRY IS THE RICH CONSERVE

POETRY IS THE RICH CONSERVE

Ultimately the voice in the whirlwind says

I am this love

which drips like honey through earthly caverns

…to the high altar…

poetry is the rich conserve—

the talisman for transit

through all comings and goings

moment to moment

aeon to aeon

music from the great organ

always othering to itself

but yet comes home.

–Barbara Smith Stoff
