Quasizeros: 21 miscellanous micro-poems

Christopher Middleton
21 miscellaneous micro-poems
for Hans Vogt

                     1

Walking, stopping in
Mid-stride

Leaning on air, word on the tip
Of the tongue

                             2

In the creases of her finger pointing up
To stress not that, but this, what

Else but

Eloquent miniscule
Horizons of grime

                                3

                       Watch the velvet
                             Black
                               Big
                       Birdspider piano
                    Finger his moonlight
                  Sonata, eight arpeggios
                           To cross
                           Your bed

                       4

All the limbs
...
Searching, please wait...
