The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 4/17/09 |
|
"Lord Hee-Haw"
Do not speak of Auschwitz, or even Vietnam. The ass's skull is braying again: Some day, science will put everything right.
Slam the face shut, quick-freeze the heart; Our true loves have all died in our arms. Assassins, executioners, are scouring the pavements.
Napalm-blazing ghosts enkindle "the psychopathology of every day life"; The "human form divine" flops in wrinkling balloons. Beloved, you have died in my arms.
~M.L. Rosenthal

I'm not sure I get it...
But I like it anyway!
Especially these lines:
Slam the face shut, quick-freeze the heart; Our true loves have all died in our arms.
Thank you!

It's definitely an example of poetry that "communicates before it is understood."
