Two Poems by Denver Butson<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\tdrowning ghazal\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

first line by Vicente Huidobro\nI am absent but deep in this absence
\nasleep but asleep in this absence\nglass rattle a tongue remembers rains
\nhow long can one keep in this absence\nthe waves from far off lisp her name
\nthe brooms of dusk sweep in this absence\nrain on the driveway stones is my one morphine
\nforget counting sheep in this absence\nlast night I woke in some hotel outside Denver
\ntried but couldn’t weep in this absence\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\tdrowning ghazal\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

first line by Claire Malroux\nthen to return with your pittance of sky
\nto bow deeply and bid good riddance <\/em>to sky\nthere is a cafe outside the dream station
\nthreads of avenues    ribbons of sky\nthis is the kind of rain that cities drown in
\nnotice the flooded streets    witness this sky\na can collector woke me this morning
\nscreaming twenty fracs for love    sixpence for sky<\/em>\nin one arrondissement<\/em> there is rue Denver<\/em>
\na few moments of tree   an instance of sky<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3390,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpo365_audiences":[],"wpo365_private":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3390"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4702"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37395,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702\/revisions\/37395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
