[syndicate] Cento from/for Charles Henri Ford‏

[jeff harrison]

Vary the quarantine of night
Inflamed with solitude
Rest awhile! You rush like sun
Guarantee to birds at odds
beautiful eyes to peck
Inflamed with solitude, a girl
may break a dish
Nothing, nothing is so valuable
as freedom, Dante said
Inflamed with solitude, a girl
may break a dish as though it were a law
Ask horror for a helping hand
 
 
(Lines come from six of the twenty-six quatrains of "ABC's", by Charles Henri Ford, 1940, reprinted 1991 in "Out Of The Labyrinth: Selected Poems".)
