METAPOETICS I/VI
by Will de Kypia

✒️
What Does A Good Poem Do?

A good poem always creates a space.
This space is not a void but a vessel that
will transport you to another world.

To some distant and timeless world,
so vivid you have lived there forever,
so enchanting you will never leave.

Until the real world — which is
as indifferent to poems as it is to
those who read them — pulls you
back into time's fretful flow.

If the poem is very good
the space comes with you.
