I stood against the far wall of the shabby lobby avoiding eye contact with the doorman as my dad checked us in for the night. We

’d hoped to make it as far as Scranton, but the weather had interfered, leaving us instead at an eyesore of a truck-stop motel. My ear buds were jammed in as far as comfort would allow in a vain attempt to block out the motel’s vibe. Still, I could not ignore the looming presence of the doorman. He stood in the dim portico, sweeping and re-sweeping a pile of lint on the floor, watching the parking lot with his watery eyes, and occasionally signaling to the whiskered clerk behind the desk.

The repetition of the word “whirl” creates a sense of
victus00 [196]

The repetition of the word “whirl” creates a sense of  "intensity".

"Oread", one of Hilda Doolittle’s best-known lyrics, which was first distributed in the issue of BLAST in 1914, serves to outline this early style well. The title Oread was included after the piece was first composed, to propose that a nymph was ordering up the ocean. Here is the short poem, (One of my favorites);

Whirl up, sea—  

whirl your pointed pines,  

splash your great pines  

on our rocks,  

hurl your green over us,  

cover us with your pools of fir.
