Stapelgedichten: stack poems

Via Metafilter, Max Dohle’s Stapelgedichten. “Stack up some books, take a picture: a poem is born.”

The Invention of the Zero

Memory
Not wanted on the voyage
The moon by whale light
Crossing open ground

The nothing that is
In the shadow of memory
Where late the sweet birds sang

Ghost circles
Sparks
Pale fire
Unquenchable fire

Update: I like my next one a lot better.

    Why People Believe Weird Things:
    Thought Contagion,
    Perpetual Motion.

    The Cure For All Diseases,
    Unexplained!

    Aha!
    Right Where You Are Sitting Now:
    Them.

    Rule By Secrecy,
    None Dare Call It Conspiracy.

    Everything Is Under Control.

    Oh shoot – I wish I’d included The invention of the zero in there somewhere. Well, call that the title, though it feels a little weird.
