"winter comes
I move from place to place
house-sitting
strange keys wearing holes
in the pockets of my jeans
--Dennis H. Dutton in Tanka Splendor 2000
"What is it we seek--if not to produce a powerful sense, sustained for a fixed period, that there is some sort of harmony between the sensuous form of a poem and its exchange value in terms of ideas; that the two are conjoined in who knows what mystical union thanks to which we participate in quite another world than the one in which words correspond to deeds?" --Valéry
