I know how poems spring up. Well water flows
From some prolific century of snows.
A meager distillation, hidden; found
By those who unlock darkness underground
And open doors of rock. And underneath
The visibilities of bone and breath
From some dark subterranean river of being
The singers lift their silver for man's seeing.
