David Bromige: In Place of a Preface<\/h3>\n

Upon Robert Duncan\u2019s \u2018My Mother Would Be A Falconress\u2019 [given that] I\u2019d be her falcon and \u2018wear the little hood\u2019 [then] \u2018my soul would be a falcon and fly free\u2019\/ [given that] \u2018my soul would be a falcon and fly free\u2019 [then] I\u2019d \u2018wear the little hood\u2019<\/p>\n

In Place of a Preface<\/p>\n

Pound\u2019s \u2018They think they\u2019ll get through Hell in a hurry\u2019 \/ \u2018Hast thou found a softer nest\u2019<\/p>\n

Sartre\u2019s \u2018No Exit\u2019: \u2018Hell is other people\u2019 [given that Heaven is, too]<\/p>\n

Dostoevsky: \u2018If God is dead, everything\u2019s permitted\u2019 \/ Lacan: \u2018No, then nothing is permitted\u2019<\/p>\n

Davidson: [where] \u2018can a language speak of the heart without first inventing a heart by which to speak?\u2019<\/p>\n

I have imagined alphabets whose words would secure a Paradise. I have heard their sentences sounded out, and felt the warmth of the speaker\u2019s breath, until with a jolt the Impossible became its opposite. And this is why resistance became a way of life. But it did not satisfy. A poem came to be consolation, but its alphabet belonged to my enemies, who wanted me erased.<\/p>\n

\u2018T, as in Tether\u2019 a friend said to me, a long, long time ago, as a way to explain that she had to step back from frankness, now another person, in some way dear to her, had entered the room.<\/p>\n

\u2018Initializing,\u2019 \u2018Establishing,\u2019 and \u2018Authenticating\u2019 are the 3 steps whereby one logs on with the software I use. Each time, one code \u2018reads\u2019 another. These I took to be akin to the stages of relationship. \u2018Authenticating\u2019 sounded too hopeful, once I had gotten metaphorical with it, so I altered it to \u2018Authenticizing,\u2019 to rime with the first step, and also with \u2018simonizing,\u2019 etc.<\/p>\n

In one\u2019s craft, or sullen art \u2014 to yoke 2 quotes of Dylan Thomas \u2014 we sing in our chains, like the sea. Hear the single in the shingle, the double-you ache of the wave. \u2018Mister\u2019 W. Ache, thi onlie begetter of the ensuing. It beats \u2018breaking, rocks in the hot sun.\u2019 Poetry is the theory of heartbreak. That sentence can be rearranged so that its nouns are in any order of precedence, and still be true.<\/p>\n
