Device Poem by Douglas Scotney
Device
After all,
it's not so burdensome, onerous, demanding,
the curse,
that poets cast for device,
contrivance, relief, trick,
rhetoric,
of multiple names for one land,
country, woman, goddess, man, guy:
Ausonia, Aurunca, Italy;
Dido, Elissa; Hercules, Alcides;
Dardan, Phrygia, Ilium, Teucria, Troy;
Ascanius, Iulus, grandson of Venus,
Aeneas's boy.
