Timothy McLafferty: *

August 14, 2017 by PBQ Leave a Comment

It’s rocks you’re after and you rake
the way glaciers convey
erratics :stones that hold all losses

—your hand sweeps the water-shine
contour without trace
calibrating ear to sea :a music bent
 
—all stones sing out as deaf
 
composers insist a Grosse Fuge
—those broken
waves, the sound of earth drinking.
 
 
—for Simon Perchik
