The World of Jeffery Eisenmesser
Workshop assignment: use assigned words to make a poem
The sandstorm,
Having wounded the skies and streams,
Upset the dinosaurs.
The upsets,
Taking hold and not letting go,
Mortified the reptiles.
The mortifications,
Overwhelming the lumbering beasts,
Yielded a rococo maze of bones.
The maze of remains,
Viewed by Sol,
The Center,
Again saw again in all this
Its own arcane certainty.
*Assigned words:
- sandstorm
- rococo
- arcane
- Jeffrey Eisenmesser, 1986
