metaphor … knowing
Understanding a metaphor is as creative a process as creating the metaphor itself.
What does it mean to know something?
Thin
How anything
is known
is so thin—
a skin of ice
over a pond
only birds might
confidently walk
upon. A bird’s
worth of weight
or one bird-weight
of Wordsworth.
(Kay Ryan)
