Approaching.

"Rearranged letters
are gentler traders."

--@Anthony_Etherin

Two anagrammatic sonnets.

“SPEECH OF BARRICADING DRUMS,

song of drums barricading.
The steamroller rumbles
a second
Iliad
into the torn
pavement,
sand-bordered
the old images
startle themselves in the gutter,

the dying warriors shed blood like oil
in silver puddles, on the road-
side, death-rattle,

Troy, the dust-crowned,
understands.”

–Washburn & Guillemin’s Celan

Dreamlike thing.
