A VIOLENT SOUND IN ALMOST EVERY PLACE #52

A VIOLENT SOUND IN ALMOST EVERY PLACE #52

By

Darren C. Demaree






If beauty falls from air

& our words must work

through the live carnage

of our minds, our lungs

& their decorations,

from where can the air

be at all pure enough

to allow beauty from such

a place? The folds, 

holding on to their twists

& the meaning of those,

the allowance of  depth, 

but only an outstanding 

process, a magical one, can 

make what you’re saying 

to me more than a change

in the smell of your burst.
