Elevation

ELEVATION

The way the voice came off the page
in letters never left him. That line of Whitman's
he loved so much, O what is it
makes me tremble so at voices,
resurfaced again. Nothing like it
could be found in so many poems.
Seemingly unrelated things,
and then the Journal. He'd kept
one with discipline four decades.
Where ever he looked, it spoke.
