marcia arrieta
 

 

manifest

in a corner

of lemons

& one

small ship

we sleep

statues

&

bodies

colliding

air

water

mouths

as light

escapes

dissolving

snowfields

 
nebulous streets
crazy passages of time in a derelict of crates or cranes
folded faded suspended ceilings obligations crashing hiding
worlds deranged shell chameleons might be sleep slay shrouded
the bridge the dark disguise a door another room less than minimal
diagram in wilderness expanding a hyphen
 
as though
a wall will pierce

the feather head

oak garland

wrapping body

in the quiet of blue

against the disassociation

light.  forest.   book.

two columns & the sea across

arms spread defy

the balance of

screws & chisel

a face like sand

a face like night

collage altered

mythical grove &

water meadow
 
in the...
there is a black chair

&    a blue wall

why cannot we transform

silence

& the apparition of
 
separating
separating words

separating identities



golden dragons

white pines
 
[collected]

collected


the edges     &     the light

 
[& i think i shall disappear]
& i think i shall disappear


into


meridian/conjecture


unexposed       whelming


over

inductive


                        syllables


shall we discuss/create an equation?


                        equilateral


universe in a dichotomy


water/road/stars
