The Art of Deism. A Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

somewhere there’s a context
but how did she get there
where did she come from
she’s as silent as the grave
but drops a few hints as
the given structure is now
an abstraction

&

she has already left you
after having created you
through an abstraction
the art of deism DIY
with whatever tools are
ready to hand & beat out
that rhythm on a drum
je ne regrette rien
