Passage. Runner-Up in Poetry of the Hunt Challenge.
Now, to search out the isolates. Gathering the bits. As Duncan said, a sense of parts fitting in relation to a design that is larger*. Neither reduction nor expansion, merely an observation. Comprehending what is happening, every happening. The cogs and wheels necessary to make a life turn, come nearer to its completion. To realize the attempt as an escapist. Working in words...want[ing] every part of the actual world involved in [the] escape*.

La di da
Where to begin? I find myself in this perennial state of existence when it comes to craft. I set out to write poetry and find myself thinking in prose. Often, my poetry begins in prose. Maybe I dilly-dally because beginning means getting to work, and work is stiff and painful. Especially in poetry or, generally, art, where you have to feel icky things, get to the meat of it. I’m new to Vocal. Obviously, this is my first post. I spent a good amount of time wondering what the difference was between a new post and a note. Again, avoiding the beginning. How many of these maiden posts have I written? Many. Well, la di da.
