Linda Pastan: "Wat Does Poetry Save You From?"

From the pale silence
of morning and the din
of afternoon.

From the flight into darkness
of those I continue
to love.

From my inarticulate body
and the syllables
that clog my mouth.

From having to say
"nothing" when a stranger
assks me what I do.

From my worst sins.
From the failure
of any other absolution.
