Tilt-a-Whirl
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
Crepuscule
by J. D. Smith
I’m bounded by your framing-tale,
Quoted “black” when I say “white.”
Imprisoned with no chance of bail,
I’m bounded by your framing-tale,
A test I’m preordained to fail:
I clear the bar, you raise the height.
I’m bounded by your framing-tale,
Quoted “black” when I say “white.”
J. D. Smith lives in Washington, D.C. He is the author of two collections of poetry, Settling for Beauty (2005) and The Hypothetical Landscape (1999) and was awarded an NEA poetry fellowship in 2007. A collection of essays, Dowsing and Science, will be published by Texas Review Press in 2010.
