Across The Open Glass Field

By Carys Maloney

As found in The National Poetry Library, London.

Please, at what point in time
(Pinpoint) did the Poet lose
Her societal standing?
/
Like Rimbaud, will I leave
The word behind? Prick
Open the pretence for
The real deal?
/
Conduit. The primaeval river stuff
Must spurt its way out, losing
Its purity for flippant form. That,
I fear, I will not resist nor block
No matter how discoloured the
Tributaries. Legible holy water
Masked in muck. Spin out syllables
Across the open glass field.
