"To the other nations who are not witnesses, who are not subject to the same oppressions, they cannot know. Unfathomable the words, the terminology: enemy, atrocities, conquest, betrayal, invasion, destruction. They exist only in the larger perception of History's recording...Not physical enough. Not to the very flesh and bone, to the core, to the mark, to the point where it is necessary to intervene, even if to invent anew, expressions, for this experience, for this outcome, that does not cease to continue." --Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
"entice aroma, menace ratio"
1.
nodsome pool
idiom Usk
fossils smirk
belated spelt
Dopplerized
boombox flummox
silt adieu
lift gorp ampule
mutter ash
skuas of loll
psalms as
filtered blither
2.
furnace-hamstrung homestead
Halla amid riddles
two-headed clown tontine
betimes crisscross rhyme scheme
the Wolf-Age that wedged shut
unawares host ghost-writes
piling up armaments · antique pen
& this ink which is vein-fill
3.
arrayed in ritual · render milk
these decades dry · dizzying fall
marigold spring · make sputter
in the long after loom · soapbox & lettrist
storm · nothing stupider than staples flung
& scattered path parts · peerless in the dawn
hot to the touch hand-tools
