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�
