"Don't want to measure, want to be": A linebreak in Denise Levertov's poem "Artist to Intellectual (Poet to Explainer)"

The third section of Denise Levertov's poem "Artist to Intellectual (Poet to Explainer)" picks up on the second section's conclusion that the artist-poet speaker creates "wildfires that none / shall measure": "Don't want to measure, want to be [...]." The speaker resists the intellectual's desire for "measure" with a desire to just "be". Yet one way poems "measure" what they say is lineation. Levertov's poem is not metrical, but it continues: "Don't want to measure, want to be / the worm slithering wholebodied / over the mud [...]." Even as the speaker resists "measure", the poem "measures" its words to shift from the general "be" to the particular "be the worm." (Andrew Shields, #111words, 2 February 2022)
