John Hancock’s John Hancock
By Jason Guriel Jason Guriel
makes wind
the way it whirls
about and blows
the neighboring names
of other signatories
away. The point
of it is not
the John or Jane
Doe it names;
the point’s the quill
in motion as if
still stuck
and aquiver in
goose skin.
The trick to writing
well isn’t up
the sleeve. It is
the sleeve
that fluffs up
the flourish,
that blooms around
the stunted stamens
of the fingers
and distracts us
from our grasping
for the sun
or the uncertain
scratching
of the stylus.
From the Poetry Foundation! Somehow I found this marvelous book in the middle of my collection. I have no recollection as to when I came across it. I highly recommend it! http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/243756
