In ordinary contexts, we often grope for words (as if waking to the darkness), and the poet finds just the right variety, complexity, and sequence to awe us with a vision of something familiar that was always there, a taken-for-granted biological process--previously unrecognized, unseen. Amazing! Poets never cease to make me more grateful for a variety of gifts--in this case, vision.
