Tragedy at Sushi Siam
Today I read about poetic time and poetic space, about how allegories are imagined but metrics not.
I read about real efforts to compose— allusion, hyperbole, sibilance as help.
I read all this believing in it,
not knowing tonight you would be where I was,
and I would need to come home to consider you in recent time,
in recent space.
