On Listening to Jericho Brown By Megha Sood
On Listening to Jericho Brown
After the Summer Reading Series at NYU, 2019
Writing with urgency: an aching desire
a rising hunger in a parched throat
when the craft and empathy are inseparable
seething feeling resonating with tenderness and sorrow
a zoetic language: a soft growl turning into a wail
haunting which resonates leaving me like a thrumming harp wire
such is the riveting effect of his words
an unraveling of the intricate mind;
a mind with aching desire, a nuanced understanding
of the turmoil which surrounds and is within us
a hunger which he experiences
while writing a truth that readily burns
a hunger that clings to my ribs thick as greed
and never leaves.A longing; a desire
for the unnamed passions in my soul
a cleaving opening my transgressions
and I face the proximity of my desires
like standing next to a burning kiln
how it warms me…
