Poems are not reversible in my view. Even more than of words poems consist of sequenses of silence. That's why poems are epitaphs. They survive us with the duration of a concession.

INSPIRATION (2)
I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
Socrates
The poet is the one who inspires more than the one who gets inspired.

WOOD
Writing poetry is producing a single leaf of all the woods on earth, producing a single ear of corn of all the grain fields on earth.

FICTION
Poetry is no fiction. It is an expression of our own life, of our suffering, of our memory, of our view on the future. In poetry reality is no reference. Reality is poetry's own subject.
