“I am thinking about what poetry can do. It can evoke something difficult to talk about without scaring it from the room. It can render something present without stating it. It can leave something unsaid while making it present. I am relieved when I turn to the dictionary and find the root of poesis is “to make”.

This is my view across Manitowaning Bay towards the Wikwemikong Penninsula. I've put photos of it up before on this blog. Now I am thinking of the very idea of the looking at water and sky as a real human need. Doing this kind of looking sets our minds free. Memory unlocks, longing surfaces, day dreams happen.
