After "Height" by Jill Darling following Maksik's "Half-light"
Mixed penance
growing
beneath and between
words
cut at the root
a metallic
creaking eucalyptus
over grey half-light
two-quarter dreams
rolled restless
signalling another blank
flash-lit broomcloset
child-scavengers rustling
refugees in rows
listening cock-eyed
to Lisa’s tales
pampas grasses
smell softly
letters forming words
between lips
burgundy
fields
lexicons of luring
baited hook
halls snipped short
rocking to and
against this
preamble
blacklit wings
boiled to bone
iron pots steam
palimpsests
into brighter blurs
