> Today, we challenge you to write a poem in which you closely describe
> an object or place, and then end with a much more abstract line that
> doesn’t seemingly have anything to do with that object or place, but
> which, of course, really does. The “surprise” ending to this James Wright
> poem is a good illustration of the effect we’re hoping you’ll achieve.
> An abstract, philosophical kind of statement closing out a poem that is
> otherwise intensely focused on physical, sensory details.


Next to you
sitting 
walking 
or lying down

It is a soft place
Emeshed, magnetic

Bound together there 
In boundless infinity
