    Reflection of a Hologram

    About this ebook

    A hologram is a two-dimensional image, which through the use of laser and light appears to be three dimensional. As one moves around the image, it will shift and change according to the viewer’s perspective which may further perplex or illuminate.

    It is on this premise that I continue the exploration of language for sound and definition began in my first collection, Noises from the Garage, in this second volume of poems written between 2011 and 2013. Giving voice to characters and objects from a grand stage to minute detail, the full sway of emotional and spiritual reckoning is on display.

      Reflection of a Hologram - David Novick

      Libya

      No walk in the park

      for the disembarked

      ask the Red Cross

      emergency stock

      for much worse than

      busted heads and fibulas

      a cold winter’s night

      without a spark

      would have been preferable

      in Antarctica.

      Sun or Moon

      Moon my preference

      though the sun has all the fun

      of a blue-eyed stare

      not a care in the universe

      makes regular appearances for its lesion of fans

      returns the favor with the taste of sweat

      the moon is more personal

      reflective, humane

      as it waxes and wanes.

      Freak Snowstorm

      Subsequent to the October attack

      I listen to rap

      time to prepare

      suburban warfare

      hand-to-hand combat

      between forest and man

      to hell with preservation

      where’s the conclusion to this national nightmare?

      Hire the crew

      chain saws, ropes, and ladders,

      a bucket truck

      crane with tractor-trailer

      the end of daylight saving time

      the racket could be a factor

      one more hour of Sabbath

      one more hour of darkness

      I count on acquiescence

      of the neighbors.

      Fifteen trees identified

      another dozen just for fun

      majestic crowns, boughs mature,

      fighting trim commensurate stature

      half-alive bewildered maple

      more dead branches than able

      blades spiral out of control

      scream from every angle

      severed limbs convert to wood chip disciples

      shoveled into piles.

      Sawdust clears

      stumps cheer

      the brush lies waste

      exhaust the final trace.

      Sonata in D

      I. I grew up in a factory town

      advantages of an owner’s son

      fortunes as common

      as scarves in a train depot’s lost and found

      Dad kept the family intact

      on both sides of the track.

      II. He could have started his business

      with a machine in the cellar as many did

      but chose a brick and mortar for his high-wire act

      mother and children grateful

      with money tight

      needless
