Poem : Butterfly Bones; or Sonnet Against Sonnets by Margaret Avison
The cyanide jar seals life, as sonnets move
towards final stiffness. Cased in a white glare
these specimens stare for peering boys, to prove
strange certainties. Plane dogsled and safari
assure continuing range. The sweep-net skill,
the patience, learning, leave all living stranger.
Insect-or poem-waits for the fix, the frill
precision can effect, brilliant with danger.
What law adn wonder the museum spectres
bespeak is cryptic for the shivery wings,
the world cut diamond-eyed, those eyes' reflectors,
or herbal grass, sunned motes, fierce listening.
Might sheened and regid trophies strike men blind
like Adam's lexico locked in the mind? |
