"between them"




The poet touches the water first.

The spring shivers

— in spite of warmth,


from recognition

.

It knows the hand that stirs it.



Later, the reader

touches the same water

. The spring shivers again,

but differently

, because a different mind

has entered its surface.

The poem is the ripple


that travels between them.
