Pome: The First Party
Time takes time until you live it
The First Party
the first party
is the last party
and it’s never a Q
of which novel
you’ll finish redrafting
first,
it’s a Q of
which you work
on current,
taking
words and lines &
excising, tickling,
burnishing, adding-to,
accentuating,
the chapter you chop
and cleave
excise and massage and which
character you dip into the
past to comprehend better
or what feeling you feel
once more to imbue into
this scene or that death or
this twist or that exit into an entering elsewhere.
