POETRY KESSEL-LO POEZIE

DENIED IMPORT
for Drew Kunz
I not me but version
shot through pocket
Suffers exchange often
by letters illuminated
to admit a time I don’t
Black sky under
awakening from your face
Selected from pose dropped
in local fashion
Need sublime not
recognized as such
Punctuates city clock
obscured forever in rush
of late cars
Hear someone whisper
behind a nonexistent door
Over almost as we
address first nature
Twisted [...]

The unexpected struck
normal sign cathedral
Statements were dated
like critics have learned
sound in space satellite
Transcendental shows
damage its pleasure
Beyond belief as angel
feeding chorus with music
that indicates you are
easily bored
Silvery vague reflection
watching attempt to
exit by a different route
Call dropped while typing
letters on a screen that
offers forgiveness where
there used to be a dial
turning round an alphabet
of black circles
