"Livresque"1

There hangs a space between the man
and his words

     like the space around a few snowflakes
     just languidly beginning

     space
     where an oil rig has dissolved in fog

man in self-arrest
between word and act

writing agape, agape
with a silver fountain pen

1: By Adrienne Rich (2002)
