Echo - Re/echo The world is white and moving Birds play with a twig of millet I make signals with my fingers No one understands what I say This is the way I want it, I get it 2. Evaluate The Broken Things Your hands make me dirtier than I was at the beginning I do not mind that at all, love Luck provides me many things: I have your cleansing mouth 3. Re/Evaluation of Movement There has been little, and only on one side – meaning both sides, but independent of each other, yet obviously showing the causal effect of your words 4. Re/Evaluation of Motion One of us is a defective clock and the other is a boomerang You think you know which is which but I have promised the silent cuckoo I’ll never tell *John Findura* holds an MFA from The New School.

Lobko Message-ID: ANTHEM [Print] Photograph me staring at the photograph my brother snapped of himself on a glacier before blasting a hole in his throat. Hang beside it the postcard of an old west town sign announcing I’m in Surprise: Population, 1. The moment I realize no one cares if there’s a body of work about him, college kids in Oslo will find a way to visualize the invisible webbing of wi-fi signals by slowly walking a rod with mounted strobes over the snow, the bitmapped landscape overexposed, unreal. *W. M. Lobko*’s poems, interviews, & reviews have appeared in numerous journals, including *Kenyon Review *Online, *Sixth Finch*, *Hunger Mountain, & Boston Review*. New work is forthcoming in *Slice *Magazine. His poetry has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. His MFA is from the University of Oregon, & his home is New York City, where work on his poetry manuscript *Kin Anthem *and his novel *The Quick Brown Fox* doggedly continues. -- RealPoetik www.realpoetik.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
