YOUR BEST PORTABLE STALLION RESOURCE

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Then I found myself
inside a house. How the daylight hushed,
sipping at the windowsills, reminded me
of other rooms, a familiar scent

of apples. Do you remember
his old projector, your iron stove?
The hundreds of pale, Victorian roses
you tried to mend, your mouth full of pins? 

Rooms where he tried
on faultless afternoons, at the piano, or the saw?
When the rains came we slept in the cellar 
with the turtles, in their resinous silence.

If it was not that house, it held
as still, while morning settled  
on the blue bay in the Chinese fire screen,
where the boatman leaned into the room 
and I was a fleck on that horizon.

caveat lector

For your edification and delight, the following flotation devices are offered:

flotson - concerning duende and the portable stallion; musings on poesis in convenient, bite-sized chiclets.
mise en abyme - concerning the synergistic effects of Google and intoxicants; a prolegomena to any future metaphysics.
flanerie - concerning the cosmopolis, ubiquitous technologies and decisive moments; Bell, Bresson and Baudelaire, a triple threat in the age of Nokia.
oneironautica - concerning hypnogogia; an archaeology of sleep.

Thank you!
