MLA Chernoff : THE CALM OF A COMMA (CLOSING)

 from Report from the Siklosi Society, Vol. 1, No. 1

 

 

 

                  for KS

 

THROUGH SMILE––A LEAFY PARLANCE THROWN,
AS INVITATION, BREAKING NEAR THE EVEN
ROUND RUNABOUTS 
AND MOUNDS OF RUBBLE SOUNDING OFF COMMUNITAS 

SO SO GOOD AND GAPPED OF PO PO POSITION––TA-DA!

NO THUNDER SPOKE, JUST NO!

NO THUNDER SPOKE NOR SPAKE 
NOR NEEDED TO,
BECAUSE
, PLAIN AND SIMPLE:
THAT
S JUST RUDE. SO LETS INSTEAD 
MOVE OUR BUTTS SIMPLY BUT SURELY 

LIKE A NEEDLE THROUGH A HEADLINE
S EYE
TO WITNESS, TO RECORD, TO LIST,
TO TRACE
MATERIAL CIRCUITRY, CIRCUITOUSLY 

MAP ITS WINDS AND WHIM ITS MAPS

TO WHIMPER IN THE WHISP OF KNOWING THAT IT

NOT ALWAYS OF COMFORT TO BE THOUGHT INTO

A COUNTRY
S CANCELED COUNCILS, 
UNFED OR ALL PROVINCIAL,

SO IT
S BEST TO SING AND SEW THOSE SULKS
OF JOURNEYED RETURNS

FROM ME TO YOU TO US IN FEAR AND FAIRNESS

OF WRITTEN WITNESS WRITING OF AND AS

BUILDING YET BREAKING
BORDERS
TO TRAVERSE TOMORROW TODAY,

LISTENING TO FEED THE LOOP BACK,

AS INVITATION, AS RIOT, AND AS
LOOT.
