“Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning / Every poem an epitaph”
Eliot~ Little Gidding
each writer is a butcher
chop chop chopping constructs into bite size
mouthpieces
the stream that rises in consciousness
dammed at intervals
to pool as paragraphs - phrased just so
And you, pen in hand with a masterly stroke
executed sentences as short sharp shocks
such gorgeous grammar
proper but non-committal
like breadcrumbs
sparingly metered out in fine prose
with a light sentiment of sonnet
And when all the words were scrabbled
all alphabets off
each dog-eared letter condemned
snip snipped and torn apart
slivers of love re-cycled
Beginning quote from Eliot’s “Little Gidding“* as Paul @ dVerse asks us to scribble some lines about ‘The End’
