America

For Gertrude Stein

 

that vast land

a wanderer's dream

to wonder

to ponder

in awe

a~mazed

 

like spiderwebs

lineages of pearls

falling

cascading

 

a land of invisble boundries

boudaries unlimited

ideas limitless

exploring

branching

 

like a woman's thoughts

tree branches

no time no space

the melting of Dali's clocks

 

a land of no beginnings

no middle

endless

images endless

 

like the vortex

spiraling inward

downward

voidless

Notes

This poem was originally written in a tree branching, spirally down the page format.

Unfortunately I cannot capture that appearance here.

Inspired by Gertrude Stein's The Geographical History of America

(c) 1995, Iona Nerissa
