Song of Polymers, by Paul Cunningham
How to talk about a copper sky?
How to talk about a copper sky?
The car seemed cool until / You didn’t want to be seen in it
I understand this, how all artists / are essentially magpies at heart, / gathering shiny things and squirreling them away
Here at night / I sleep with you / inside ice houses
From deep down to high up go inward / for light. Keep drowning keep / growing keep listening
She could not have known that soon after / their baby was born, her husband would die
Whose time in the tangle is so smooth / it feels like swimming, parting the lush green stroke / by stroke?
I learned your language to unbury you ...
Is every bird a kiss incarnate? Its color and character contained?
In my phone in my food in my milk / container, in my thoughts, the mouse, the transparent / window
