EFFIGY LETTERS Poem by Jude Stéfan

in syllables of letters that made names
sun Rs (ray) lorrainer wheels (réda)
roche (M or D) or roubaud ristat almost
tristan which made names with 1980s faces and
bodies like that pallid veracious of b.noël or
the Ps of exiles perros, pérol, parant the D
of deguy the bizarre Z of izoard
or the S murdered on the bed of salabreuil
of the gifted young belgian savitzkaya before a st
with sibilant unvoiced dental with f of disgust
contempt 'he who speaks with energy'
