Calm thoughtsA Poem by FrontierThis is a "found poem" I used parts from the Bhagavad Gita and James Grainger's The Sugar cane to come up with it.The self by Soul, trample down his Self, As art transforms the savage face Musing on me, lost in the thought of Me Indigenous Remedies, the last cane piece, Sun darts, tropic beam, the vain cloud, lightning splits. Dry the sources of corrupted love The flight of Time, shadowy wing, Adore, as I adore, Quake, as I quake Face so fierce, the unadorned bosom, Jamaica’s sons, firmest base of power, what new forms of death, this friendly human frame, such rich veins, Prince of the Forest, my mind can think calm thoughts once more © 2014 Frontier |
