“Days heap upon us.”
The refrain that moves throughout this poem feels so accurate.
“The same as the last.”
This poem was very difficult to read out loud because of the repetitive nature of the sentences where they are formatted the same way but slightly different. There are also a lot of sentences where they are formatted differently but state the same things.
There is a continuous insertion of “Where is ____”. The searching nature of the days or the weather and the people underneath - how to find them?
I began a series of 7 posts where I read aloud poems from “the weather” by Lisa Robertson. Each one is titled a day of the week - I first published Sunday, then Monday, today’s being Tuesday… because today is Tuesday.
Promised definition for a word I did not know, I could not find it in my dictionary or online.
anticipitates - a word remaining undefined, a creative spelling to make the reading stutter?
