MONO SPLICE

stub of dream
auxilliary sub beat
flashs of bright true image
I can hear the creak
like light on that shutter blade
as it flicks the scene

this drone of now
submersed in fluid
ease
the face says
this
the body says there

and the soul hurls
against the wretched
flight in exstacy
this burning wish
flaring like a strobe

and all dark angles
jutting
sharp as a blade
on velvet

i do the best to make new language of old
words one merely has to read poetry less
then a hundred years to see how language
recreates meanings its sculpting to me
i dont follow convention make it up as
I go along letting the mere power of the
word stand out in a way without the
selling of all the rest of the prompts

literaly bartering an understanding with
the reader

its all poetry in the end
thank You Longo

Poetry, Steven, comes from many sources, but few can manipulate the word and give it another reality n a special context. That is creativity, You have that ability.

You are right Jess the comment feilds
are what makes this place and poems
come into some kind of meaning.
I dont remember this work
a lot of the times Im pretty out
there...sleep deprived under
a lot of stress..

i work to get my poetry legible to the

speak and people understand

Give it another reality
