fragments from the new world edda




grace and paucity

 

absit invidia verbo

 

benefactor   bereftor   arbetrator

dispensator   

 

ivy covered red brick   green lawns

proust and pound   limericks in latin

 

dumpsters in alleyways   

what—a body

 

a cop   an ambulance   a cold slab   

 

gracious shipwrecktor   bountiful sea  

tropical turquoise sea   frothed cold cod-filled sea   

 

bodies abundant  

bone yards   of children

 

weeping parents   always   ask the same question

grand designor   great and powerful   

 

decidtor   the maternity ward   pat pat pat  

 

daddy   smiling   proud   maybe not

case dependent    all quite case dependent

 

maternal   decreetor

who bears the pain   

 

who wielded   who raised   first   the right

to obliterate your grace  

 

ape-men   

who indeed   reflect   reflector

This is wonderful. I agree that you have come up with a new form that is quite avant garde. It is almost like messages from an old 1920's ticker tape machine :)

You have become a cubist. This is an interesting poem. I will have to read it several more times.
