5 poems || Ric Carfagna

1

Primitive
violin    grey
watermark
     of music     sag
          and gravity’s
day       diminishing
                     touch
of life     returning
to           dust


2

Cold stone
eclipsing     moon
drawn
through    lattice frame
(and life-force
distillation
and process
vast
     geomantic
                  evolution
           then corridors
blighted
     angled
       corners
incarnated     stasis
unseen (by)
eyes


3

Snows gloss
then shadow’s
            accidental
dismemberment
as fragments
and patterns
of sun    leaving
 meadows
wan
with oblique afterbirth


4

Death
intransigent
as soot occludes
semaphores’
discordance
and the transparency
of crows
on stairwells
diminished      gardens
as weeds      culled…
          or a logic
as a window
where light streams


5

Deep in the race
explosions sleep
deconstructing
a ghost’s         static
            rapture
