![poem by jay wright full of annotations
POEM:
The pentatonic spring washes its winter clothes.
Five is a difficult color—
not this green of reflected sky, nor the red
clamor of midnight riding by on a church bell.
Think of the Greek of it,
an Egyptian river,
the dry desert voice you hear in the cleansing.
All before this moment found its own measure,
an ingenious inganno, a blessure
occasioned by a consonant's turmoil,
a Germanic algebra brightly a-boil
through all the strings, a fortspinning always pure,
always a public shrine to a wood secure
in its origin.
White is a difficult
sound in the edowa above the tumult
fastened to the soul of widows, magnitude
that arms the darkest nebula. The rude
dead awaken to another baptism.
