/lit/ - Literature

the first part in an experimental poem I'm writing mixing various pieces of cut-ups from other texts and my own alluding primarily to Eliot and Pound, it is mainly free verse but also incorporates rhyme scheme at small sections


I- Parting Ways

He left it, left it, left it, left her...
Went North, went East, went North,
saw the stars turned in the house.
The moon's teeth marks are on the southern sky
like dead birds and sadness; death was on the darkened rooms.
Childhood brings only fear,
like a tarp scarred with jailhouse tattoos
and maddening rows of antique books
and the bricks all over this,
she watches awed upon twilight groves and dismal chambers.
He left her, went East, saw the whole goddamn town ready at the windows,
they sought the broken umbrellas like dogs.
The woman first, then the hundreds of grotesque,
gigantic, and vine-encumbered trees,
and the glass; death was between us,
coming to whom they give names.
Trees, trees that silently wave twisted branches far aloft.
Death was where the rooms darkened.
He left her, went North, went East, went North.
