Untranslatable Thought
From: A Skeletal Wand
$1.20
A wind has come and gone, taking apart the mind – Gone is the girl in her white slip – Beside the mirror over the sink the windows darkened into mirrors – Like an angel slapping you in the face – The wheels of the train were a runner’s heartbeat – So what can they tell us, the writers of dream books? – What was the land before it was landscape – Merciful the mirror that’s fogged – Is there a lesson in the way this new silence lasts? – I will grow at one with my dark love
