Note on a Condition of Generation

by Richard Fenton Sederstrom / May 19th, 2019

A moth making love
to the dire sublime

of lightning strike
or candle flame

or impotent light bulb
traversing the eons

with this energy
for dying again

Richard Fenton Sederstrom is the writer of six books, including Eumaeus Tends, and Selenity Book Four. His new book Sorgmantel, follows a view of Lucretius, but employs time, the predicate of physics, into a search for what can be imagined out of the possible and impossible. It can be read, perhaps, as an elegy for generations whose existence humankind is threatening, including humankind. Sederstrom was raised and lives in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and the North Woods of Minnesota. Read other articles by Richard Fenton.
