VARIABLE CONTRASTS
for Tom Shapcott

by Stefanie Bennett

Now you've returned
From the Baltics
Hurling broken oars
At the Strait's
Dizzying
Shock-waves,
An irrepressible
Frontier
Beckons -:
                Klee's aspic
Renaissance and
Eluard's "The wind,
Undecided, rolls
A cigarette of air..."

Within the Charnel House
You're knee-high deep
                                   Again
... Hesitating.
It's not
Passe fanaticism that
Coagulates -,
But the knowledge
Of it.
