Truncation. Is truncation the underlying tool of a minimal poem?

Things that should be there can go missing in a poem. Equals confusion. Edits of prose structure can lead to the minimal style of poetry. Petite eloquence. Petite starkness. Echoes across ravine.



When food is truncated is that the equivalent to snacking? Or, trail mix?

  1. Happy Trails

    seeing once again the edges of the rock
    and its interminable distance to the sea

    we have held onto such a ballast
    once in terror, once in joy

    all hail the commander of celestial arches
    spaces through the manor calling us forth
