you know the type:
halcyon scenes
of green spread out
across the box with foxes
scurrying through hedgerows
rabbits burrowing
here to be reconstructed
from this jumble of cut-outs:
the shadow
of a farm
the tip of a windmill blade
rough
sedimentary tunnels of
cardboard
layers peeling – and
the light in the fields
has softened from years of light
in front rooms
– and the colours have faded
mash the pieces together
& fragments appear:
a daub of sky, a pink streak of cirrus
its gentle wisp
emulated with a dry brush
yet gaps persist
the cardboard contours
cut out once to perfection
are here rough, problematic
rubbing like leather
on leather
patterns fall together
patterns fail
the child’s fingers
run wild amid their veil
the real stuff
in his hands
in all its frailty
Sudden Little Drops has been recently resurrected so I could talk about music! Check out the new Albums of 2011 post below, and hopefully there will be more new content coming soon.
