A fine lyric poem by Pennsylvania's John Repp. "Hear the bee. Hear the clavichord. Hear the split lemon of the heart. How? Hunger for sour juice, soft seeds chewed to bitterness, the heart a relic of what once got said, of what once said something" broadkillreview.com/post/hea…

Dybek’s “Chord” opens a statement that could be the beginning of a joke, riddle, or parable. “A man steps out of the sunlight”; anything could happen. The poem moves by rhyme; that “chord” in the title also happens to be *inside* the accordion sighing. Hear it? Titular beauty.
