Cleaving lyrics




ParaLyric poem #2

“The rejection of a
dictatorial language
creased back on itself,
the wish to open the
poem to a horizon
which exceeds it”
— Michel Collot

sleek shadowy—pterodactyls
huge wings—flying low overhead
it’s all so—primitive full of

the possibilities—of poetry
stretching out past—ancient
pleistocene—timelines

pale parataxis skylines—
pausing briefly—perusing them
let the—paralyrics begin
