Two Poems
by Julie Waugh
historicisms
research yearning sardonically
portable footsteps beating the brooding sands
patterns discursing, populating plots of time
clotted chaos awaiting the microscope
pauses reaching star-like, tremulous
projections coverting seasons
embedded with hope and splintered reasoning
props justifying entombment
sojourning
at every corner
chance and the burden of choice
shall we abandon our destiny?
shall we swirl among clouds
willing the wind’s imagination
act without hope
or thrust our disembodied perceptions
into beliefs personified otherwise
hereditary governance
auctioned
