Ekphrasis No. 19
The rocker’s arm-
Chair
Rhythmic motive—
Ping,
Hic.
Elective coo.
Minor
Keys latch midg-
Et
Doors,
Free condemned green
Dun.
Whiten
Dun—electronic gimmickry.
Whiten
Dun & drown them.
At last, a well-fixed
Relative. Major—Corps & Signal war.
Hic.
A victor’s emblem! A haft in plaited hair!
The rocker’s arm-
Chair
Rhythmic motive taps
A hollow ping dun.
