I already tried to post this once, but for some reason it didn't get
through. It's something I read out a few months ago at Writers Forum.
Also, does anybody know anything about Barry's translating the entire
works of Apollinaire as he said he'd done at his reading at Subvoicive
some years ago? That would be something to see.
Three "Sun" Poems after Barry MacSweeney
I
Violence as red
and folded over
cut pages for
pliancy
no tricks (the print is raised)
take the letter "M" and tear
II
Out of a page
make a mountain range
may the shadow curve
over some words
it will bisect i.e. "inhabit"
could look
like a beak
make it sunrise or let night creep up
to be a hull...of a kettle!
Held in hand
fools gold
in another
fools gold
III
Water mark
a little bird
leaf bird
shakes like a leaf)
a sunset can illumine
camouflaged a
hidden golden
city
