Lorca

descending to the street

fandangos and improbabilities

turn their backs to silence

Synethesia

Ineffable and intuitively

they break the veil of mystery

giving complete references

for a tragic blunder, a vision of art disembodied

a child, left unadressed

Offers striking illustrations

Of unexpected synergy

Seven voices

Speak

2011 By David Jacobi

This is the first of several upcoming “collage poems” I have written and assembled. Noticing different sentence structures and word rhythms in various books I was reading I simply began writing down what I liked and put together what seemed to me to match and flow. These became my free verse collage poems, with some of my own lines scattered about usually acting as connectors or buffers. With a traditional poem I always begin with a subject in mind while with a collage poem I never do, letting the words gather and arrange to tell their own stories.
