This poem reminds us that sometimes our mind knows more than we do, and when this is the case, our mind may only be spoken by another’s tongue.

Stephen Dunn - Allegory of the Cave - The Dewdrop Stephen Dunn imagines the loneliness of the visionary who is unable to communicate the truth he has seen to his fellow prisoners.

“He climbed toward the blinding light
and when his eyes adjusted
he looked down and could see

his fellow prisoners captivated
by shadows; everything he had believed
was false…”
