And suddenly we were in it and it was snow—
flesh in liquid, skin in shreds.
Lush’s been wicked—sinned—when dreads
end lovingly demure limits: sand lit wars know
lands thundering. He, heard. Whims met. Handed love slows
less insipid linen beds.
Death and quickness limit, wed
unendingly. Reword. Win it. Candid below
folding, unfolding, end slaking to drown near the rocks,
land burns. I find, then, compensate missed revolution:
there had been a little town
scolding, cajoling, and shaking around in its box.
Stand firm, my mind, and concentrate with resolution:
bare sad hymns. A brittle down.
Itearation Nets is a 3-part, book-length investigation of the sonnet. Beginning with the first section, which is composed of the most sonnet-seeming poems, the book builds upon itself, weaving the sonnets of the first section into the prose poems of the second, and finally, in the third movement of the book, erasing what has come before to a chain of fragile utterance. Although this work is built upon process and upon the shoulders of other poems and philosophies, it is deeply personal as most work that grows, as this book does, out of perception and memory, tends to be. The book is forthcoming from Ahsahta Press.
