Poetry


from Myths and miscellany: Some instructions: Prologue: The republic rises and falls
Christopher Arigo

     

                          In the beginning: stories

 

                          (in the spaces: stories)

 

                          and ending invented as I go…

 

Republic

implies repetition—

by definition

rooted in wealth, things

cobbled

from myths and miscellany

from the diminutive

of a lost adjective

 

                          This was the first chapter

 

The second internalized the words…

 

                          In the penultimate chapter

                          the republic rises

                          as it must

 

                          then melts

                          as it must

                          —etc.————————————and the conclusion?


                                                                            There is never a conclusion…
