minimalist free verse
A chapter in the book Word Games
Word Games

This is another minimalist piece, in which the music of the language revolves around a few sounds, these 'w' 's' 't' and 'ing' sounds, repeating in different patterns and different rhythms throughout the piece. The poem unrolls in some parts, winds in on itself in others, and then explodes out into 'something' out there, an endless space and time that could go on forever, like an echo. I love this idea of poems bursting open like seeds, and then unfolding out, like kites, and then floating off into the sky, going beyond the reach of hand and eye, or in the case, ear. It could also be a comment on idle gossip, the meaningless repetitions of rumors and hearsay. I wanted it to be obtuse enough, abstract enough, to be different things to different people. estory
