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.

To a palace made
Of wind

To a palace whose towers
Are pillars of fire by day

To an opal palace
In the sky's zenith heart

The bird of pale air
Flies

In a swift white line
On black space

A brushstroke
Signifying absence
