the aura of an era

 

each era takes the error of its period

turns it notable and distinctive

gives birth to a new aspect, event, or period of time

a milestone

an epoch.

it is not a number , but a chronology of values,

reaffirmed in all their glory

 

it is a new reckoning.

breath it in –

and blow forward.

poem by Jeanne

hack

 

hack off the branches
rough heavy blows:hack
it, inflict it: cuts of wood

elegance lost to
drudgery’s force, while
pester provokes, vexes the grain

original art
cuts back on the form
drives it, wigs it through the wall
