“There's something to be said, and something else
to be kept quiet and cool:
the lake at dawn, before the fog burns off.

from "An Open Letter”
George Witte, The Apparitioners
“we learn
the word's embedded anagrams so rush
to pare a god's indifferent nails and rape
the body offered in all innocence
and gnaw the unripe hanging pear of love

From "Reap”
George Witte, An Abundance of Caution
“No photograph records
that day's unmaking roar.

Things ripped from skins,
words from definitions.

Letters distilled until
incomprehensible,

whistles, clicks, thrummed dipthongs
an underwater song

too deep for human ears.


From "Uh-Oh”
George Witte, Deniability
“And when undone or desperate, alone,
beset by others' hungers and my own,
to speak inaudibly and still be heard.

From "Wish List”
George Witte, An Abundance of Caution
