Poems about Poetry
minimalism and the elm choka
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
the gravitas, what final
singular loves unsettling?
feelings, spurious inflections
in the authentic and shared
original sentiment
like first typographic stars
impressed and run-off
chanced-upon summer station
glacial creak, thunder
but what of grandiose changes?
