194

among objects shone

ekphrastic for Nona Garcia’s (2017) Recovery

[AGNSW, Biennale of Sydney, 2020]

flint lipped

in a worming

bong bone

x-ray tooth

gesture of light

we’re here

shadow and tree

in the bottle

basket vessel

neck puff

trowel and string

see

tin telling open

and eyes on the trail

jungle the plinth

box screen

akimbo stoppered

thrown till

underwearing

dark ancestry

lines fall in a phallus

and back

come here to guess

teeth bright of a head

passed on

all of this makes a mountain

from some sun else

a wrinkle in the skin

let run

and not a word is said
