by Elaine Equi

When a poem speaks by itself,it has a spark

and can be considered part of a divine conversation.

Sometimes the poem weaves like a basket around two loaves of yellow bread.

"Break off a piece of this April with its raisin nipples," it says.

"And chew them slowly under your pillow. You belong in bed with me."

On the other hand,when a poem speaks in the voice of a celebrity

it is called television or a movie. "There is nothing to see,"

say Robert De Niro,though his poem bleeds all along the edges

like a puddle crudely outlined with yellow tape

at the crime scene of spring.

"It is an old poem," he adds.

"And besides,I was very young when I made it."
