Understanding why English starts with E- poem by Sarah Gluck


Harmony amidst us, containing no words
Can’t fathom communication that is living in abyss.
Floods of my hindmost thoughts flush through town,
after all my quondam stay isn’t familiar.

It sits, can’t stand.
My prior drab and murky asylums hunch,
Lost with forlorn of comfort.
Our community is a group, stuck with gum.

Dark laborious clouds attack.
Trimming childhood, I’m a ruminant scholar.
Annihilation is forthcoming – carcass rotting.
My roofs collapsing, but no contamination will follow.

Limiting you from you.
Imagination of standards that wont match up.
A conflagration has burnt my city.
No building walls, but ashy floors in ruins.

Can’t stop light - that is to say my spark and my match clash prior to my understanding.
And as I wish it would rain or rather downpour to put out my lucid warmth,
mist won’t occur in my small Sahara.
Sharp, strong humid air supports burning wood,

Magnify glass and sun kiss.
Back up. Your walls built of sapling.
Soil laid upon land – growth, the ground
Can you find you?
