Restrained Poetic Compositions Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Restrained Poetic Compositions



When replacing cement walls
and naked stages under open skies
all religious statuary will vanish.

What will be gained instead
will be propelled into an unstable motion
of hysterical arrangements

that shall reflect a script’s
death-defying dialectic ambiguities.
And as Eliot said so aptly before me,

I wasn’t even bothering whether
I understood what I was saying
