Took the time to read the 11,000 words.  A discipline required for linear presentation on a non-linear medium. So much information in each sentence - allusions to illusions.  Density of meanings makes one feel dense at times. I'm sure I missed....it slipped past the crannies....did I ever know all of the referents or has the brain sieved?

 

"A signed original" on internet....Walter Benjamin on steroids....the medium has an aura.

 

Thanks brudda waldo for sharing this.  Much respect.

"Compost Modernism" feels such a better descriptor for what I have been striving at for all these years.

Manifesto

This is exactly what I mean. In the middle

of the half-acre dump, piled with broken bricks, old tires,

and the street sweeper’s waste, two bright sunflowers

stand beatified in the slant light of morning.

We must over and over again bear witness

to the wonder of this world. After the bone-rich

ash is shoveled from the ovens, after the scarred witnesses

have told their terrible tales, after the weapons have been gathered

and burned, someone must still have voice to sing. This

is the only ground we have to stand on, this

scorched and defiled garden. It is here we must raise

the cry until our throats tear with the fierce hymn of praise.

 Dan Lewis is a poet residing in Worcester, Massachusetts.
