Impard a willow-cell in sordue – Janet Frame

Impard a willow-cell in sordue
chance or chead in fascendure
the sweetable lightly photation
frambling in the quintolution.

Chance or chead in vilitance
a musion briskly appleful
harmworthily impelled
in pulse and mind deeprent
with bountiful irrosement.

Chimney Fire – Janet Frame

The shaking sou’west breath that will make
the telegraph wires moan and tell all their consuming
burden of messages in snow-clean confessional,
has panicked fire out of this heart and house, has raged
a passage of blood through soot
that may have choked or helped, like the black dust
that settles or battles with each coal of thought.



I found these poems in an old poetry anthology from school. Unfortunately there isn't a reference for where they originally came from.
