National Poetry Month

　　by Elaine Equi

　　When a poem speaks by itself，it has a spark

　　and can be considered part of a divine conversation.

　　Sometimes the poem weaves like a basket around two loaves of yellow bread.

　　"Break off a piece of this April with its raisin nipples，" it says.

　　"And chew them slowly under your pillow. You belong in bed with me."

　　On the other hand，when a poem speaks in the voice of a celebrity

　　it is called television or a movie. "There is nothing to see，"

　　say Robert De Niro，though his poem bleeds all along the edges

　　like a puddle crudely outlined with yellow tape

　　at the crime scene of spring.

　　"It is an old poem，" he adds.

　　"And besides，I was very young when I made it."
