Leaping from a Tome
Immortal Lines

Peter Magliocco

Lines filched from lips of corpses
Are what I bring you tonight,
The true poetry of the unspeaking
Who nonetheless mouth
All the little profundities

The dead are heir to.
Go figure the murkiness
Of vowel syndrome,
Why communication relies more
On a facial frozen expression

Than any glittering consonant
Surging from a live diva’s throat.
Hell, the body of truth haunts us!
Perhaps the true ways need reviving,
For the dead speakers are ventriloquists

Striving to make us their dummies.
Hoping we’ll never tell them
The real facts again
So they’ll never return
To give us lip about.
