counterpoetics

for Edouard Glissant

steal this order out of progress
blunt and fractured calculus of screams
say it like you mean it
knowing that desire = loss

blunt and fractured calculus of screams
manufactured faith in words
knowing that desire = loss
still trying to multiply

manufactured faith in words
when we were born screaming
still trying to multiply
hyphenated seas of division

when we were born screaming
steal this order out of progress
hyphenated seize of division
say it like you mean it
