Poems are not just about words by J.S. Watts

Poetry with spaces
                                    displaces
    its meaning
                        ever so slightly sideways
giving it room           to breathe
opening up places
                        you didn’t know
        were there            but always were
waiting to be seen
                        waiting to be dreamed
leaving faint traces
of things beautifully unspeakable
     that will take root
                                    in time
and blossom
                  and bear fruit
and be.
