Tuesday poem #80 : Joshua Marie Wilkinson : Poem for Laynie Browne

I guess conceptualism

woke up in the sad nets of yore

& you made another space

to counter it—not

in the armchair of the scoffer,

let alone corroborator but

as an act—more renewal

& recombinatory, quadrupling

the crazed space of

what the edge of making

might could look like if it did

some quality asking together

to gather.
