HoboEye Poetry:
Stephanie Berger, NYC, USA




IT’S JUST FRUSTRATING NOT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING SAID BEYOND URGENCY


An enraged orchid forms disillusioned by image
we wake in varied moments in which


the illusion of disillusionment spools—

Worn by their likeness petals look uneasy
there are not shelved moments present for your echo

To balk      the stupid scarf lost at the store—

I can’t explain where evolution climbs back
and the orchid swallows its tepid water

recovers enough scope to wear this moment

Stephanie Berger is a poet living in New York City. She is the founder and Madame of the Poetry Brothel. Recently the Berger and the Brothel got a nod from the National Arts Club, which is housed on Gramercy Park in the victorianized Tilden Mansion. Regular readings and exhibitions are held at the Club, and it has remained an arts center in Manhattan since 1888.
