#ohj Micropoetry: OPENING LINES

no lineman specializes in ball play when
the line of scrimmage is another
scrivener, a root metaphor
with a poetic nuance at work
in the background

that’s where
o
pen
ing lines draws to itself
a sticky thickener quickening
the inner line; an interface is
the line facing itself under erasure
the loosener of lines, dichter & bard

no specialist shows forth; already
outsides are dead and insides are living
the empowering resource, a
mythos in the logos making repair

#ohj MICROPOETRY Monster And Bug

#ohj June 10-11, 2013 rambunctious, trapdoor, mantrap,
premonition and at least one dverb not ending in ly
(see hard and quite)

The animal power in rambunctious is rum
a hostile man/trap/door leading to
Pan’s lair of nightmare.

Just ask Ophelia’s “Lucy “how pale man
desires insect lux; two eyes on a plate
a ravenous god in a hot, hellish

hard premonition in her gut
drawing her into the shape
of its insight

feeling things
not quite
right.
