The Poet In Swampy Areas

 

***

The Poet in swampy areas

(insufficient source text to continue

only a new course of tin)

desiring a poem change

- that is the desire for illness and the moment before -

murmurs: The word is not my heart. It never was.

 

Traversing the land of good stories

I’ve found a miniature city for my heart

The word can go to gods when little buildings inside my ribcage fell apart

Old age never fails to surprise.

Be it known to the world that I’m the greatest detester of Literature.

 

In come the Giant lizard rustling: All is Art, all is an art of allying: I see and pain;

within my part of sorrow

I pant and paint, rant and a haphazard train of thought enter the picture

without constrain or remonstration.

 

Here you can change a word, there a wording

But nothing can be rewritten as a rule. It’s too late every time I try.

Writing is a mother. The primary source for the dunces.

You cannot change a mother or can you, can?

A mouthful of hysterical giggles, a handful of coppers.

 

A number of silence’s original works

a few of which can be found in English.

 

Poems from some distance

              

No one should tell you

that these pages contain as well

laughing eyes and a loftier brother

who is searching for the obvious in my ear

but never whispers: All is so dreadfully second-rate.

 

Novelty of opening a laugh.

An eternal one.
