24 Dic Timothy Lavenz: Groan

intervetion by Bacco Artolini on “Estasi di San Francesco” Caravaggio (1594-1595)
GROAN
Transposition
martyr-faring
in sparrow’s swoop
with eremite muscle
overused.
Signlight for phrasing
windstorm flutes
over desert cages
stops morph substance
into choir movement,
snakes in
fermata-laced
sinchutes, loving
grace.
Coda mentalities,
fast of remaining
penitence,
inseives the laud
maintenant
cuddling in echobasements.
You strain to roll
on white wing’s aleatory
air-cradle, you
transfix
in hap derangement
the beast.
Timothy Lavenz Berlin 2017
