from WARBLER

speaking
from between
remnants
or something
or other
to follow                                 the moment
to transform
to touch
to turn
to mark
lingering beyond                  of solitude
utterance            
 
 
 
– succumb in the midst of it all – 
 
 
 
light and shadows
containing visions
evolving through
linear constructs
stopping//momentarily
beyond expectation
 
 
 
– breathing is a function of the imagination – 
 
 
 
motioning w/
dry lips
converging
in tooth
in the space
between speech
forsaking the difference
restricting
direct light
through voice
an illusion
through stillness
hand
to face
to page
 
 
 
stroke – stroke the indent
beyond
a fixed
sense of
turbulence
evenly spread
before dawn
before sleeping
to evening
to waking
a moment
still in transit
 
 
 
splice
skin
+ eyes
+ all
trembling lips
+ voice
+ one
beyond
screen
each new eclipse
beyond mouth
+ eyes
outputting internal
dialogs
 
 
 
– trapped in a kind of circle –
 
 
 
Morphing
w/ soft
supple
splendour
directing
line
against the
white
porcelain
forming liquid
on tender
hooks
+ lips
 
light
               folding
drifting
through registers
through illuminations
through empty
skyless rooms
