SCION OF STOCKHOLM... 1913-2015

T. Transtromer     [Stefanie Bennett]

 

 

 

He said, clinging to life,

“It is hard

To believe in

A bland phenomenon

When you’re the known

 

Optical source

Of the baker’s dozen,

 

The Magi who chants

A fond lullaby,

 

And an airtight

Chapter of doom...”

 

With that, the room

Spun its

Meteor shower.

Its welcoming mat.

Its Divine Comedy.

 

 

 

GONE       [Stefanie Bennett]

 

 

Seeing as how no-one’s

Tied to any

Shore anymore –,

And we’re

- Most of us,

Kicking

Over the traces...

 

Why then is it

Grandpa’s

Got

Double-braces

On!
