Forgotten Ground Regained
[F]
First there was the sound of a serpent in the ear.And angel fallingwith a flaming sword. A fist. The useof force.
Flood and fjord. Fog and foghorn. Flamingo,Flamenco, Flaubert, Frankenstein. Then Frish.Fission, then Fermi. Fascism. Anne Frank.Flash, then fallout. The pamphlet from the Office of Defense:To escape temporary blindness, bury your face in your arms.To lessen your chances of injury by blast, fall flat on your face.
Little Boy. Fat Man.Flesh of my flesh.Sound of fat hitting fire.Paper lanterns, drifting.
Fault and faultline. Fraud and fracking. The fractureof a fact; a farm foreclosed. Your face--why forbidden? Grace, fastenedto an empty frame. Not forgotten; forgiven.Fade as fate. Fat. Fa. Fados in the rain.
