In this found poem piece I am using the “erasure” method which is when you take words or phrases from multiple works and put them together to make a new piece.
Found Poem 1 (Uses: - Stumbling into a Blank Landscape and -Climbing)
Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the stain of love
Watch out for the gashes
I saw those unforgiven ghost
dig deep
squeeze
shift your balance
hold on by grips, crimps, cobbles, and knobs
kick your heels
this is not the story of return
I can cry but can’t wake up
hang by a rope and dream.
Found Poem 2 ( uses: Domestic Escape Hatch and Harsh Conditions)
Slice wide the midnight sky
Tides and storms,other times
adapt to loss
what we fear, we try to tame
impermeable
I’d been led to think I was in control
burning the past effigy
It’s not easy is it?
