The binding holds in
The pages to be filled
Like a sculptor
I can believe
The medium holds the art
Study the lines and textures
The surface is secretive
Only impulse distracts
The poem from the page
by M. Perron (Originally written March 9th, 1992)
Notes: I can’t shake the feeling that there is another more complete version of this one. I just haven’t yet found it in my notebooks. I hear much more between each line. One of these days, I’ll sit and write it out.
