"We stood up and started to dance without music."
Merwin knew that the line break was doing something that punctuation couldn't. "We stood up and started to dance without music" is a better ending than almost anything I've read this week.
I wish there were more poems posted that were both understandable, visually impactful, and eeply emotional as this is, though artfully understated!
Im studying Merwin right now- my grandmother’s poetry aligns with his tone and it all feels very synchronistic ✨
Lovely piece, thank you for spotlighting this brilliant former Laureate.
How lovely, kaylen. Thank you for your kind readership🌻
