Offered Fragments For Kierkegaard Poem by Warren Falcon

for Soren Trembler & Reginald McClelland


Dear Incomprehension

beloved old friend

difficult foe as always
within twained

still this old theological
dog suspends strains

Hanged Man in fear
&trembling either/or

more&nor nought
before betrothal

such paring would be
- no - IS Testamental



Terrible tender deity
Breath of mud & fire

ambivalent Word
cooled only by bare

Shulamit of figs &
dates in darkness wooed

what may come
of parted lips

hers torn in two splices

the I & the thou & how
one alembic

conjoins (or can)exiles


How two makes One
the myriad to the Alone



taut limbs long
unwind where no

higher math
is needed &

no timid dread
can easily stitch

nor pull thread
to bother the fair

spurning daughter
become dumb

Cruelty's revelator
where again ever

Grasper Soaring
One deep sinks

into think to reckon
what is what & not

betwixt earth &
heaven's hereafter
