What Poets Need
FINUALA DOWLING
.....
One night, unable to sleep for thoughts of you, I got up and scribbled this down with a pale pencil crayon on a scrap of paper. I’ve just broken it into lines, choosing to put “pages” on a new line and omitting the definite article. I do take line breaks seriously, don’t adhere to the carriage-return theory of poetry.
There is definitely something still wrong in the last stanza. It still has the heavy sign-pointing of prose. You can even see that the second line is too long. Rather: “You have etched/your love for me into glass”, but that would take away the faint echo of “pain” in “pane”. “You have secreted your love for me/etched it in a pane”? But “diamond” is good. Leave it, they say, put it in a drawer and come back to it.
