My initial reaction to finchy’s work was not positive. I thought that she is a prose writer and maybe poetry is not her thing. But I have read her almost every poem on this board. I think this is one of her better work.

The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth ~ jean cocteau
&
A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland. Kahlil Gibran

Nice quote. Some poets can bullshit just as much as anyone though. Or maybe that disqualifies them from Cocteau's club.
a poet is an egg yolk
easily scrambled
if you are very gentle with him
he will dry out in the sun
like an old man
