Text of the page (random words):
the following sentence standing waves cover our usual walking path that oxymoron underscores stasis and motion with climate crisis numbers from five to fifty return from eleven below to eleven above in hours sinking back below freezing stampeding and standing lead to sinking in a downward trend as below heads underground to bury the remnants of flood kemp s antlers and antennae nudge the ground and seasons to clarify climate over the page she continues in stanzas of varying lengths as her rant runs along the river her warblers trill enters a sonic and scoped labyrinth that tricks ear and eye unknown we cannot now locate since sound is not where sight is and the willows are leafing out they leaf out by spreading but they are also running out of leaves the next stanza deflects that leafing out by sleeving leaf and echoing the earlier weird leaving out the paw tracked mud the grocery cart obliterated by winter storm back to origin a mess of twisted rust like an old fishing weir that metaphor gently jogs the mind in a trompe le cerveau while the ear adjusts to twisted rust and weird weir the concluding stanza returns to standing waves which have gathered momentum throughout the poem the current courses by standing waves standing in momentary eddies against momentum kemp s thames differs from edmund spenser s sweet river that runs softly and t s eliot s river s tent that is broken but in her tributary she hears a cold blast with its rattle of the bones and chuckle spread from ear to ear her antlers detect the trompe l oreille between ears her rant contrasting with warblers trill she dreams and dredges the sweating oil and tar of her precursors riparian delights in auditory trickery between rip and repair for the tear left alone let the word itself slide along a corridor of flood plain riparian lines glide not just through enjambment but also through liquid l s and long vowels that channel n s against pausing double r s that flow halts in the accentuated double dashed riparian and final word of the stanza interface which itself contains the burial of inter as well as turf on banks the second stanza picks up the first through rhyme of surface with interface as f s accumulate to complement the initial left while onomatopoeia augments the synaesthetic experience a bobble filtered bottle bobs along the surface above overflow from sanitary and storm in tandem with above repetition of the preposition along situates the rhythm of the river while banking alone the next stanza plays with the vernacular and doubles meanings in the thames s trompe l oreille a word in the mouth sidles in wet rushes over the tongue to burst upon banks of the thames a linguistic overflow enters this couplet mouth of river and poet sounds and tastes the twist of slides to sidles bulrushes to speed the rest of the poem oscillates between bird and bush woodcocks mallard osprey swallows meadows marsh ash groves sedge this interchange between ecosystem and echo system appears in let alone which repeats the opening left alone let word of mouth ripple water ways and ripen looks back to word in the mouth as the poet meanders along the river in tempo of thames without us the river would repair itself in time kemp speaks and hears the river s rumours she begins in dream and ends downstream if riparian like most of kemp s poems sleeves sight and sound then mutative metaphors exhibits the sleeving of tenor and vehicle in a trompe le cerveau where hammock and canoe interchange along her river the opening sentence conveys a hypnotic rhythm and dreamscape my lazy hammock dips and sways paddled with silver dappled in sun yard belying any need for action beyond its own rhythm imitative harmony in lazy sways balances paddled and dappled in the belying illusion of metaphor with hammock in air and canoe in water the poet could be brewing earl grey but her tea rhymes with rosemary and immunity in the second stanza or i could make bach flower remedies from impatience chicory clematis to ward off moods impatiens plays into moods while bach flower fugues in a similar vein within her incredible edible garden but she leaves all that activity for other years leave valerian and foxglove growing unadulterated just as hammock derives from fish net or stretch of cloth so foxglove sleeves into kemp s abundant garden and body of poetry this garden i am lazily pleased to watch parade its season and fall as though my gaze were enough to bestow medicinal property by osmosis direct through vision she will have to rely on her mind s eye for these optical illusions and trompe l oeil effect exotic names such as dittany of crete and jacob s ladder play on the tongue to rhyme with litany a river of words on the thames floating downstream metaphor mutates in the final stanza as part of the mind s eye s trickery bubbles arise when the hammock turns into an old canoe the poet heads home with her antlered head transformed with her prolific pen kemp paddles and gardens through all seasons and times in the depths of deception along a dark river or mind s ditch la tranche or la trompe she rolls up her pants like huck finn and her sleeve like james joyce on the liffey a way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun about the author penn kemp is a poet playwright and performer who lives in london on her most recent collection is

his work suppose jack drew fine charcoal portraits at art mart s november meet just five dollars for a good cause assuming the pose of a poet i gazed off to unfocussed distance and poetic dimensions far from the mundane thus he drew me chin thrust in the foregrounded perspective of my vain sixteen my father attempted correcting my chin at its angle of incidence smearing the charcoal to smudge but
