The Poem
it’s not a piece it’s pieces
parts of person, bits of bone,
alphabetical shards with
sharp edges, substance both
and weapon, forensic fragments
rattling like Ezekiel’s bones

Amazing capture of what it feels like to read through lexpomo. “rattling like Ezekiel’s bones” gives me the shivers in a good way
Dem bones dem bones dey walk around, eh Arwen?

alphabetical shards
“Alphabetical shards,” “rattling like Ezekiel’s bones,” – so good!
That last line though!
A mini ars poetica?
Fire!
