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.

That awful mask a snapshot
Amazed solitude
Transfixes on the surface
Of a perennial torrent flesh
Casual flesh

That awful mask a mugshot
of drugged solitude
Your face

May the rain burst erase it replace it
With a vacuity that shines
A dazzle of nonentity a
Sightless clairvoyant of white shadows
One forever eaten by wind
