G.C. Waldrep : APPARITION DIASPORA (for Amish Trivedi

from Report from the Trivedi Society Vol. 1 No. 1

 

 

 

 

The seed, crushed
against the maladive
spar—

seditions
we ran from, at dusk.

*

The invention of
forgiveness, q.v.

Adaptive intensities:

the field
may be one of them.

*

Treaties in occupied
time zones
the new debt
recognizes
(or fails to recognize).

I am writing this
to them, where
things once stopped.

Where things
lifted edges
from the nude waters.

*

Mechanism
for casualty
formation, the why.
