Today's poem is by Bill Knott
The Sightstop
To spell amid a tree's sundapples
the birds' practiced shadows argues
an eye for effects, dark against dark—simple discernment, nerves aligned
and brain, perception minus squinting:
the true 20-20 if you can bindthat sight until through repetition
it is nothing, a blur which focus
has lost itself in, a memory mimed.Even windows, those indentations
of day, hold a void of the view.
They too are restrained by its stops.Meanwhile the hydra of my soul
needs just one more mirror to see
itself whole, so hold your eyes still.
