Trial ii.i : Tundra
By: The Mad Poetess
Purpose:
revise
the ink
until the medium
is compatible
with the artistry of
verse.
When the necessary revisions
are complete,
resurrect
the stanzas lost
to hellfire
in the crimsoning.
Hypothesis:
The crimson will freeze over
and
from its glacial surface,
I shall chisel stanzas of new.
Materials:
- A willing snowstorm
- Crimson
- Inkwell
- Quill pen
Procedure:
1. When all the world is a snowstorm and the sky begins to foam at the mouth, press the crimson to the hypothermic terrain;
2.Sculpt snow around the inkwell and
2. Leave overnight
3. At dawn, bring the frozen inkwell into the solarium--here, it is warm enough for human flesh, but cold enough to ensure the ice does not melt
5. With the quill pen, chisel from the frozen ink stanzas of new
Observation:
The quill shatters
aginst the
Tundra.
The few stanzas that survive
the breaking
are too weak
to survive the frostbite,
also.
I have no choice but
to cut them away
like frostbitten fingertips.
Left behind:
the phantom's of
poetry's past
begging to be
rewritten.
