Thank you, Tom.

A poet dares be just so clear and no clearer.... He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring. ~E.B. White

interesting. i like how the man and woman become visible in the light, but cups (mom, dad) have to be held up and seen through illumination. very interesting.

Each held to the light, you see --------------the way this line is set up, the 'you' is what is held to the light. Maybe 'You hold each to the light and see' ----- ? Needs some rearrangement for clarity for this reader.

I like how clean this new layout is.

Mom and Dad have a sake set:
tiny porcelain cups with no handles.

Each held to the light, you see
a Japanese woman or a Japanese man.

When the dark eyed woman
isn't sleeping, she's fierce.

Thank you, Tom. I see I've neglected this one.

Lynn, yes, I see what you're saying. If I insert 'cup' would that be redundant? I'm going to put that there for now, and do some research on cups.

Thanks to both of you.

For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives
In the valley of its making where executives
Would never want to tamper, flows on south
From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs,
Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives,
A way of happening, a mouth. -W.H. Auden

Hey Tom, if you don't see this I'll send you a message. Not sure why, but I had to log in under another log in than the one this poem is written under. I changed something per Lynn's comment & posted it under my other login. Can we fix this someway? Someway simple? lol Thank you.
