Lynne Thompson

MY LIFE ACCORDING TO OCTAVIO PAZ

 You are a question and I am another.

     The windows are stamps.

     The box unfolds its wings and begins to fly.

     Time plays chess with its shadow,
     the hour is lit.


Lynne Thompson is the author of two full-length poetry collections, Beg No Pardon, winner of the Perugia Press Prize and the Great Lakes Colleges Association’s New Writers Award, and Start With A Small Guitar (What Books Press).
