The Starlight's Intuitions Pierced the Twelve by Delmore Schwartz...Eraser by Kelly Wantuch

Intuitions pierce the
brittle night sky like an
empty moon ruled useless.
No matter what-
Find the girl's never healed wound-
secrets sleep all the same.
She shuts off her wit-
words withdrawn, dreams denied-
altered truths in the abyss
will not hold.
No matter what-
A knife will spill infinite
Suspicions- inadequate
forgiveness until a touch
revives the memory like a
boomerang. She walks
dead-like, unspeakables
rise and never ignores her
consciousness. Her shadow
breathes like stars never born.

  2. The original poem is by Schwartz. (which isn't posted) An eraser poem is a poem using some of the words of an original poem in the exact same order to make a new poem out of it. It is a new style of writing that is rather "in" right now. I always give credit to original poem though. The eraser poem (the one posted) is mine.
