SENSE

00:00 / 00:38

come twisted from the pitch

into sap and lymph

till the stirrings of a world

accident the surface

as asphalt’s brutal glint

and the trees the trees

see me as I see them

glutted by cloud and bodies

brimming with prophecy

untethered

the mouth the window

water’s lucent edge

photo of a landscape

or are we being greedy

hear the witchgrass calling

disorder disorder
