The Hyphen David H Rommereim

These poems are an interlude between the hostile urban landscape, the massive influence of the politically wild cityscape together with the amnesia caused by a dyslexia of twisting and shifting metaphors from cement and humus. After years of city living I have come to learn that humankind is sustainable only at the expense of the future. That despair has brought deep anger to the inhumanism needed to nurture and care for this planet. Unless and until we look down to see where our feet touch the breath of the divine we will mark only an ending rather than a new naïveté. When there is a new naïveté the anthropocene will remain the formula for the end of humanity on this divine planet. It will take an abundance of life with it. These brief poems are a way to enter the humus as if there could be a rebuilding of the top soil so to interact with the soul of humankind to become a new resident of uncertainty in this new age of adjustment.
