Papier-mâché over rolled and crushed chicken wire
Proliferating voice : prism. This I transits into sense :
world-function, the way writing’s a universe process
enacting itself, so the question whether or not to slips
as tide. Incline toward vastness : one child palms a flat stone
at sea-edge : that stone’s disappearance from us, its
skipped tail our gaze. If tensing, if shamefaced, loosely, sick,
at least I answer with description of any light. In meditation
beside Hannah, buoyant orange element – foam
if my legs were sea – beams from my knee. Always
something water like a door : eyelids’ obvious, tender
inversion : a little skin between everything. Shining solar
plexus beetle. Its fabulously delicate legs. As a particular meadow,
June air meshes the shape I felt in the mind of my hands
and then made. It was odder, lopsided : I hoisted it and felt the air inside it.
