The play with language is fascinating here. I especially like how “resurrection is another verb” brings the whole piece together.

Thanks @Florence Acosta, that line is doing a lot of quiet work, I’m glad it landed.

Interesting version of a list poem. It’s hard to write about the field of petty and still be both lyrical and interesting

Thanks @Doug Stuber, Poetry Publisher. This one’s part of a wider experiment I’ve been running - Liberated Grammar, where any part of speech can be reassigned when the experience demands it. The List form here is really grammar being put under pressure until it breaks into something else. Linked below is the first poem I wrote in this form - https://upsilona1.substack.com/p/break-it-downAppreciate you engaging with the craft of it.
