The Fog (after H.D.)
I am dead.
You avoid me.
I open like a shell.
You expose me with your breath.
What am I, heartless one?
This was an exercise in which I used H.D.’s poem “The Pool” as the launching point. It’s fun and occasionally illuminating to try these. “The Fog” first appeared on the blog in April 2016.


Beautiful, Robert.

I loved this and really enjoy doing writing exercises like that. I love when people use others artistry to inspire their own. Just one more way art can connect people in such a unique and important way.
