I thought you should know that my Cento...Hi Sarah,<br /><br />I thought you should know that my Cento, made<br />up entirely of your words, was published in "Found<br />Poetry Review".<br /><br />Travels With Sarah<br /><br />Across the hotel, a wind almost<br />shakes the trees from their cages. <br /><br />I’m afraid of myself here, at the bottom<br />of the sky.<br /><br />My heart is the shape of Spain<br />and even the rain is sick of Italy.<br /><br />Go out, go out wherever you are.<br /><br />I hum the lake. Every night it’s there<br />in my ear, leaving, arriving... and I’m<br /> <br />reminded of a snowless winter light<br />years ago when I loved someone <br /><br />too young for me. How we have fallen<br />behind in the story.<br /><br />Mind the pigeons plumbing through<br />the sky like dirty hands through water!<br /><br />I’ve forgotten what I wished for;<br />perhaps it has come quietly.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Cento: final lines (except one) of poems by Sarah J. Sloat: “Postcards from Paris”, “From the Back of My Mind”, “Rioja”, “Here On Business”, “Outdoor Cafe, October”, “Hive”, “Waterfall”, “Across the Time Zones”, “Mid-March”, “Train 21” (I changed hand to plural), “Snow Path” (mid-poem line).<br /><br />johannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19630688.post-36270006298260162472014-02-18T19:11:00.646+00:002014-02-18T19:11:00.646+00:00I was lucky to see this at Jefferson's home in...I was lucky to see this at Jefferson's home in Virginia.
