Poems about Poetry
vorticism is a choka in its modular home
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
their ballads over
again, various, volleying
half apparitions –
voices end-of-line
feelings tethered to a stone
or bluing outpost
trochee here, tripping
now, over tundra trochee
feelings like the land
slashed by steppes and burned
cinder et alia
in the sky and blanching winds
