A NEW WAR A NEW SOUND Poem by Jan Lauwereyns

A NEW WAR A NEW SOUND



The evidence for real weeping
seen at a safe distance

must be melancholy

according to Book Four
about the truth of the multiple

a ghastly noise in the background
a sardonic little tune

the platonic procedure will lead us
to our lost paradise

and we're forever breaking water while rowing
staccato

in the Styx
hate or horror

a new program for remembering.
