Framework

by Nicholas Kurt Duffy, Nicholas the Poodle

Framework is a collection of thirty poems about city life, self, purpose or vision.

The work is organized for the wounded sage.

The poems are from Nicholas the Poodle, author of Linda and the Real World and A Literary Zine . They were written at the lowest point in his artistic career and hope to offer empathy to others who are drastically unable to process their life and the language surrounding them.


First

Mice

A field of pretty
flags, blue mice
a-bearing,
whistling up the league,

‘Defeat the language barrier!
Defeat the language barrier!
Defeat the language barrier!
Defeat the language barrier!’
