Classic and Contemporary Poetry


BETWEEN WAND AND WELT by MARGARET AHO

First Line: BETWEEN FLOURISHING BATON / AND FERULE, THIS

between flourishing baton

and ferule, this

virgule

self-splitting with a hiss below the right

pectoral

slung forward from the pinned

wrists

into which my hand has reached

has wedged itself
