Stance

1. Read through once to feel the rhythm, then pick out the lines that move you most and copy or read them aloud.
2. After reading, respond in a few lines by recalling a time you wanted to speak but waited until dark.
3. Keep it within reach for random dipping—read only a paragraph or two at a time, no need to finish in one sitting.
4. Pick one line each with a friend and discuss your interpretations; no need to reach a single answer.
