What if, says a small child to me this afternoon,
We made a poem without using any words at all?

"But I’ll be honest: 'Digging' bored me when I first read it. Between me and Heaney’s clean cuts, there was a temperamental misalignment; I tend to prefer poems with a little muss and bedhead." —Elisa Gonzalez for The Yale Review

Chord
When the music dies
and there's nothing left to sing,
when voice fades to night...
in absence of words worthy
of melody, what is left?
Breath, alone, is vain,
and poetry's want becomes
the soul's starvation;
waiting, in tuneless wonder,
watching the death of beauty.
