Poem of the Day
1981
By Asiya Wadud
in a world the orange sun resets
in a world the orange sun resets
whether at fault
quaver at crack
the heart breaks
freight not the affections
tract wrote school, arm nane of reddening.
self all in evenlies, most of language looking for a landscape.
wriit ence hoar
Skeletal kin
tilt
italic lunacy
The town is a whistler
turn on a rock
The water runs a working curve
Paddles sloshing in tunnel.
Volume: all thumbs.
Dis-ser-vice? Naaa...
out to make
one bird high
above spiralling
all
over
the
body
finishing
touches
Widowers have more dignity.
The flames starting from the ears.
That’s what I say: it’s worth a try.
Instantaneously and repeatedly, Blank serves as a station for our senses, making possible an impression of continuance.
