Table atom and coffee atom have backs facing--
like in the start of a romance movie. We anticipate their meeting, pine for it, yearn for the fulfillment of our own desires through them
[as the stars are shedding from beyond a forgotten cosmos].
And suddenly a roof is made of these atoms housing friends and civilizations--sheltered from harmless [desirable] stardust debris.

This is completely fantastic! It's entirely new. Where did it come from? Maybe you should send it out somewhere, a magazine or something? Having just returned from the AWP Conference in Denver, and having glimpsed a kind of poetic zeitgeist (not so different from zombie zeitgeist), I would say this poetic of yours would find a broader audience. I will think about places to send it to. . . Congratulations for writing it!! XO
ReplyDeletePoet--good stuff. A return to the dada, I see. Love juxtaposition of experimental language usage with evocative imagery. Stanzas 3, 5, 6+ struck me most. Floyd
