[New-Poetry] PBO: "Sonnet Nabokov," Daniel Bosch

[James Cervantes]

Sonnet Nabokov


Pathetic, how the stiff wings' final reflex
	Mimics
A death struggle; how the brittle thorax
	Clicks
As the pin penetrates; how the pin exits
	Cracks
Riddle the chitin; how the aftershocks
	Climax
In a foreleg's or an antenna's palsied metrics;
	Facts
Carousel on a dark scrim of wax;
	No music;
No music but a pulse make-believe makes
	Relax.

- Daniel Bosch, Poetry, November 2005
