Triumphant Lemon
poem by Brian Charles Clark
rip-off failure of a king —
power lies in story—
Lakoff’s frames describe the way
a dark room receives the bright focus
of its single window.
Up the Valley—
away from the house—
the view is different,
like art: alter the window,
violence is changing.
In the bush of ghosts the danger
I see is everyday talk becoming
lemon tree, very pretty, with fruit too
sour to eat.
