Frame
All poems are translations,
purveyors of our position,
in or outside the story.
The narrative
contrives an argument
in terms of our values.
We become who we’ve always been–
curators of our cabinet of curiosities,
circus barkers in search of an audience.
What the poet wishes to say
remains forever forthcoming.

…you got that right
All poems are translations — useful, wise, reassuring.
LOVE!

Love this.
