Found Poem for Star 82 Review 7.3

This is the twenty-seventh poem created from either the first two or last two words from each written piece in an upcoming issue of Star 82 Review. I am told that this type of collage poem, that merges words from several writers, has an actual name, a "Cento," Latin for "patchwork." Here is the poem that unites the community of writers that will appear in issue 7.3, upcoming mid-September or so.

Look over

a straw

person’s day

The new

night outside

has pockets

of wind

to dance

Over untended

eggs, cooling

we sung

to help

at all

been reading

Big angels

can beget

from perfect

ghosted companion

The call

to life

be together

just be

This was

nice even

Old West

court martial

We thought

wrong before

I leave

your feet

platters filled
