The Bell Ringer
A POEM
He disturbs
The sleeping bells, the stolid sounds
Locked in the iron tower
That hold indifferent resonance to
The germination of a seed,
The cutting of a flower.
He wraps the ropes like ivy In the groinings of his hand
And dances
Blending joy and sorrow
With the falling sand.

What Is the Purpose of Poetry?
Poetry was once understood to be an anthropological episteme, a way of knowing, if only through a glass darkly.
