excerpts


"straight lines only 
no curve or arc
to double back

no circle in sight
from which silence might slip 
like the strap of a dress
off a shoulder
one summer field"

"X", Vona Groarke

----
"keep changing the subject in hopes
that the subject will change you."

"How to Be a Surrealist", Dean Young

---
"Don't tell a soul, but once,
over the Azure Coast, I felt a letter
slipping from me. In panic,
I dropped the whole word.
Forgive me, I was distracted—
a naked young man was singing hymns,
his long fingers separating tangled
grape vines."

"Carriers", Christopher Hennessy
