Paterson An Allegory
mosaic
of prose
&poems
interleaved
intense
obtuse
oblique:
an epic
satire
in words
of a place:
beauty
&poverty
its elemental
character,
a reality
of restraint
&impotentcy
expressed
in
a language
of
variable feet,
a shift
of style
in
fragments
of
three:
a winter
of
death
before death..
a
polluted
river...
stagnates
and yet...
....see
a green
branch buds
from an
old tree
with vitality:
a
change
in mood
rather
than measure...
...love and
...imagination...
the essence
of life
