#535 - invisible thinking -- ekphrastic for Hilma af Klint

invisible thinking

ekphrastic for Hilma af Klint

 

they too, so secret, grow

to love from love

 

a flower key

where other worlded

 

won’t call planets

but how else?

 

dove and swan, prefiguring

found mirror deeps, found heights

 

light, dark

spirit and touch

it’s easy to be led along

 

I take the signatures of angels

    fern unfurlings

 

swim of aether up

moss, woods

and the cool

 

habitation

call them all to

 

should you fall to

someone is up through the flowers

from pastel undersea

 

waves Moominalmost

travels in the letter

weather in the map

hands guided past dimension

long winters to work

 

it’s all without looking to see

 

I think some have the colour of bone

 

footsteps trick

what’s another word for

 

hearts and moon

things serpent circle

the underflesh

forever expressed

 

wings of a long since feather fall

sputnik goldnesses

a prism trill

see propellers too

midsummer fans

miniatures, majuscules

orbits pebble and grain

 

we only have the punctuation

 

there is always a vanishing risk  

 

a trip through the books

this life and what she did

           gyre lit

effortless and automatic

 

make up a wall

go back

 

conchrise – call a passion

 

I call it a place of work

 

curlicue planes of

sharp drawn breath

 

no habit but the lived line

no colour but a spirit grief

who ever asked to believe?

 

solen

månen

jorden

 

how the heart comes to this wave in the grass

the head gives up its height

 

the point

the veil

brief arrow

 

so far struck from meaning

but Christmas came to the tree lit

the old ascents serve

 

all this guessing to be

 

it’s play of scale

a temple of where we are

nor will it matter why

 

without the mad colour

no truth
