METAPOETICS I/VI
by Will de Kypia

✒️
What Can A Poem Do?

A good poem creates a space.
This space is not a void, it's a vessel
that brings you to another world.

To a distant and a timeless world,
so vivid you have always lived there,
so fascinating you'll 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.
