Klaus Høeck: 'Palimpsest': 'Wrapped Coast'

WRAPPED COAST

(1969)

i wrap a gauze ban

dage around my right hand that

i have dipped in red

ink after which i

seal it with gaffer tape then

i write this poem

to which i do not

give the title ‘wrapped hand’ (see

above) even though

for perfectly ob

vious reasons it is a

cack-handed poem
