GHAZALS: 44, by JAMES HARRISON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: That's a dark trough we'd hide in. Said his Last Line: And may you strike hard enough to see nothing at all. Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim Subject(s): Imaginary Conversations | ||||||||
That's a dark trough we'd hide in. Said his sleep without frisson in a meadow beyond Jupiter. It is no baronet of earth to stretch to -- flags planted will be only flags where no wind is. Hang me rather there or the prez's jowl on a stick when we piss on the moon as a wolf does NNW of Kobuk. I'll be south on the Bitterroot while you're up there and when you land I'll fire a solitary shot at moonface. I wish you ill's ills, a heavy thumb & slow hands and may you strike hard enough to see nothing at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FORGET-ME-NOT by PEARL GUNN FOWLER AFTER IKKYU: 30 by JAMES HARRISON AFTER IKKYU: 39 by JAMES HARRISON THE IDEA OF BALANCE IS TO BE FOUND IN HERONS AND LOONS by JAMES HARRISON |
