Magnetic Game on PoetrySoup

can unvalued birthright animalize careless communications
indwelling deflective dejection again
mistaking recency with indelicate internment
she is psychoanalytic

This has the wonderfully uncanny logic of magnetic poetry: its dense, abstract diction creates a shifting psychological landscape where words seem to pull and repel one another. “Indwelling deflective dejection” is especially resonant, and the blunt final line, “she is psychoanalytic,” gives the poem a strikingly wry, diagnostic snap.
