ALARM Poem by Michel Deguy

We invent the mastery
Of the scale in which we disappear
The essentially broken poetry
Its rocket with bluegreen eyes in the night
Disquiets this scale still
- observer observing a centre
believing it's a centre

Glossary plays ecarte
The fine approximations draw in
Rip feigned rupture travails
to offer itself to knocks it de
Nominates it de
Ceives de
Viates the presentable
exhorting itself:
sir
come
vent:
