Robert Guzikowski
Aphasia Poem 7
among the jumble are
odors false, abandoned arisings,
unmediated cybernetic
mimesis, ideas
lost, vocabularies uncoded,
remaining only as background noise.
dwelling-in-the-world-ness,
becomingness, becomes first and last,
all the way to the bottomlessness.
form is transduced ruin,
the the, the that, each then mirroring
the other. neurons lost, voidness found.
sequences when and where, old and new,
here, there and all the ands, fade from view.

Biography

In the 1970’s and 80’s, Robert Guzikowski published work in several magazines and edited with two other poets The Parlor City Review, gave readings and multi-media performances, and conducted poetry workshops. In the 90’s, he had encephalitis which caused brain damage. Aphasia was one of the sequelae. Following this, he resumed developing his art and wrote on a variety of subjects on his blog Atomic Geography (atomicgeography.com). He resumed writing poetry recently, including The Aphasia Poems and has work forthcoming in The Raw Art Review.
