INFORMATION
    Morphine addiction is central to understanding the work of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte. This is not a slight, not hardly; the stamina to reside in adjacence is a poet’s power, and morphine, as with other substances, is a great creator of difference. The addict poet, for a time, can be like Mercury — shuttling between the world of the living and that of the dead — a fortuitous personage for the act of description.

Madness thundery gist of dream and dross
Ring where the cave of future rings
Cherry between me and the boogeyman Nothingness
My wind-tossed head a flurry of feathers
Shoots sparks as hammers strike anvil
Dazzled by undeserving pure gold fortune
Stormy hammers surround it
Crown it with the fresh forged
Hot circlet of the infamous calling of misfortune
In chunks of the infamous calling of misfortune
In chunks of dripping scarlet pain
I’m terrified all this splendor
Will make it pop
