Poems
Jul 2012
colossus
a lover of movies sets a chair in a field. sits the pillow here then there upon it.
his daughter her new trick is to bell the head of a spoon to her nose. to move is grotesque.
up close their house looks merely bigger.
her strange shoulder he sees it same as her fall down three steps. sees it without looking.
the spasms, the dormant minutiae of curse that by their accident of suddenness have killed held mice, continue.
mice the minions of mute thunders; the exiled scars of clouds.
the deaf curvature of your knee,
the low nod behind you of a humble balloon; these I address that I have returned the lover of all things made
his chair might the monstrous pass.
