#Poetry is like a stream that’s always running and whenever I wants to, I can dip into it and take a little ladleful and have a poem.

The poem is the chronicle of the creative act that produces it.
- #JohnAshbery
The soul is not a soul,
Has no secret, is small, and it fits
Its hollow perfectly: its room, our moment of attention.
- #JohnAshbery, 'Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror'
And the air pours in with piano notes
In its skirts, as though to say, “Look, John,
I’ve brought these and these”—that is,
A few Beethovens, some, Brahmses,
A few choice Poulenc notes. . .

"I don't look on #poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length."

newly #ugly, i keep thinking about #johnashbery and the opening of self-portrait in a convex mirror and how it shook me--just look!
"I tried each thing, only some were immortal and free."
i want this beauty always but without capitalization!
Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes.

At North Farm | A poem by #JohnAshbery (1984) #poems www.cocosse.com/2016/05/at-n...
En algún lugar alguien viaja furiosamente hacia ti,
a increíble velocidad, día y noche,
a través de ventiscas y el ardor del desierto,
cruzando torrentes, salva estrechos pasos.
¿Pero sabrá él dónde hallarte,
reconocerte cuando te vea,
darte lo que tiene para ti?
