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 a distant and a timeless world,
so vivid you have lived there forever,
so enchanting 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.
