Kelly Cherry Wrote A Poem Entitled "Reading, Dreaming, Hiding"

She was reading. I was dreaming
The poetic lines. The mind was hiding
In the words and time was swinging
Within a stanza, continually considering gravity.

Time was dreaming in the words. She
Was continually considering gravity. The mind was swinging
Within a stanza, the poetic lines.
I was reading and hiding.

The mind was continually considering gravity and time
Was swinging in the words and within a stanza.
The poetic lines were continually considering gravity, dreaming
In the mind and words. I was reading her.
