LOUISE AKERS
CUSP
there is little gentle
about administration:
the clanging
and un-clanging
of more portable shells
along indistinct
currents. the feeling
of the involuntary
shift from cusp to
inseason concatenates
expressions—un-static
feelings—and the mood
of nearly anthropological regret.
and yet
i’m reminded
of an earlier, prohibitive
clause: lack of experience,
a strict and oppositional
salvo
of desire…
the transitive gaps—
un-rushing intervals
like apertures—suggest
that some elements
ought not be resisted
but endured
and endured to the point
of reeling,
independent pleasure.
