Example:
Double Rainbow
By: James Galvin.
“Well aren’t you the harsh necessity,
As in what fear is for?
It was the summer of…
you should have been there.
Though the last thing I want
anywhere near me is you
Louche and thaumaturigic
you made my faith
my foolishness.
Easy as lying to trees
Essence of the inessential
Is what you are. Double Rainbow
Extrinsic as blood is to the stars
An Empire not of death
but inspired by
Farrago of arid precepts
a few chep ideas about hope
The eschaton alterity
All featuring you.
WHat are the chances?
slim to none
But listen here my fraud, my forgery
I could close my eyes at any time
all I have to do is close my eyes.
Now that could be an Oberst Lyric!
*And Galvin IS a novelist as well as a poet for the record so it counts.
