Excerpt
INTERRUPTED
or, choosing to re-member memory’s Made
the least important thing about
a poem’s what it’s saying which
is why it doesn’t have to
say anything yes
it does have to mean but it
doesn’t have to mean
what it says
it’s important to get lost in a poem not
because you can get lost in a poem but
because lost is something that can
be gotten in a poem & it is
this begotten that’s the most
important thing, the one thing that
makes getting lost in saying nothing matter :
Makars commune with the dead & artists
who’ve brought back are who’ve
brought back from the Other side
