Bravura

There is a very swish "d" dancing on the title on the cover of The Rose Concordance (BookThug, 2009) by Angela Carr.

Here is my own little concordance of lines from The Rose Concordance:

[22] cartilage of the reader, the book's completion is a softness
[14] existence is an aromatic crease
[14] credulous and rich secretions

small attentions to cartilage, to crease, to secretion, take on a full deployment in a poem exploring the sensation of slight syntactical turns and it happens to form a happy helix round a tour de force

still in the what happens middle of never
still in the what middle happens of never
still in the middle what happens of never
still in the middle what of happens never
still in the middle of what happens never

still in the middle of what never happens

in still the middle of what never happens
in the still middle of what never happens
in the still of middle what never happens
in the of still middle what never happens
in of the still middle what never happens
of in the still middle what never happens

"of the still middle" — of course never being still for the iris of eye or the rose of ear

And so for day 2207
