At the end of last semester one of my advisors gave me some texts to read and respond to. I decided to try a kind of 'flash collage'--where I just skimmed the text quickly and wrote down phrases or half-phrases and arranged them quickly together. One I like a lot:
A Skull.
I begin to wonder the way to imagine a man—
From the ‘how are’ to the ‘I love’
And I dismiss immediately
But not too much a world of meaning.
The way I’ve managed an observation:
To curse several times
This perverse private dialogue of awareness
The expression an equally animal
Can’t think to question.
But I asked how before they
(The animals, I mean) explode,
Which is what I can see in its eyes
If it hadn’t meant anything at all
And was just saying good bye.
