February Call and Response Poem

February

It is all kind of lovely that I know

what I attend here now the maturity of snow

has settled around forming a sort of time

pushing that other over either horizon and all is mine


in any colors to be chosen and

everything is cold and nothing is totally frozen


soon enough

the primary rough

erosion of what white fat it will occur

stiff yellows O

beautiful beautifully austere

be gotten down to, that much rash and achievement that

would promote to, but


now I know my own red

network electrifying this welcome annual hush.



Dear Jack C's February

by Britta Kallevang


this was exactly ugly and you forgot

that you neglect there then the innocence of sun

has stirred up inside dispersing a precise event

pulling this one under neither polar direction but nothing was yours


out only one hue given but

nothing was warm, still everything was somewhat melted


now, now

a secondary smooth

accumulation of that black air won't happen

liquid reds X

terribly, terribly ebullient

was left up to, this little indifference and failure this

won't demote to, yet


eventually you forgot the other’s yellow

fragmented numbing that unwanted perennial scream
