This page withholds both dream and `theame`, yet still places the poem directly in another person's hand.

The corrected scan reading makes the gesture cleaner: the speaker refuses explanation but still offers the poem as a physical trust. The source spelling `theame` gives the short lyric a handmade, unstable feel without weakening its directness.

A five-line lyric built on withholding that still delivers. The speaker twice refuses disclosure - 'I won't tell you my dream' and 'I won't tell you about the / theame I have' - then offers the poem itself as the only thing given: 'Yet I will put this / poem in your hand.' The refusal becomes a gesture of trust, and the source spelling 'theame' lends the short piece a handmade, unstable feel.
