Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé — Poetry

10/9/2010

34 Comments

 
reading gunnar björling [i]

melt me your handbook
give me your worldview, and maps
lake tõya globed, full

portcullis between
metalwork of pigeons, finch
above a steeple

how to interpret?
how now, of architecture
that lives, out of lines?

an imagined shape
an arc into an escher –
monet’s wrists, castles

* These four haiku are a response to Björling’s lines “it is and that time / that a no-room, no-when / it is / and that one time / it was so bright, so quiet / I hear everything everything”. This translation by Fredrik Hertzberg can be found in You go the words, a collection of Björling’s poems published by Action Books.

reading gunnar björling [ii]

don’t look at the world in vacuo – in vacuo
it loses sight of its space;
open to creeley’s birth poems
staircase words folded in her red purse

humanity:
experimentum crucis in other arms
reach into the crucible, feel the angular velocity
hand in a fist and old stone, instantia crucis

* This octave, comprising twin twitter quatrains, dialogues with Björling’s lines: “In the lindenalley twitter / very dove in the trees / Shadow me well / here, and so good....” These lines are excerpted from a poem dedicated to Martin A. Hansen.
