Fur(l) Parachute

By Shannon Maguire

fur(l) parachute claims as its surrogate the Old English poem "Wulf and Eadwacer." Declining from a mutant echo of this 19 line fragment that appears in the 10thC Exeter Manuscript as a text that might be a riddle, or an example of a woman's lament, or even a broken elegy, the language of fur(l) parachute is further disrupted by such texts as instructions on how to make a parachute lure for fly fishing or the misreading of mathematical knot diagrams. Wryly troubling origins, this poem multiplies its outlawed longings for all that cannot cross.
