ekphrastic for Cian X Dayrit [Henricus] (2022)

Blueprint of Dam as Sadistic Monument

 

abject

the eyes inside

the hand over

sky full

the gathering

and broadcast mountain

river in a cage

trees, factories

stump where forest was

all the words are lost worlds

ghost ships

and god’s phantom limb

strange creatures

a gallows then

canoe at oars

the palm laid easterwise

 

all the worlds are lost to these words

these few the ghosts of the said

as if a bible spill

 

windmill wish

lakes and wheels

the military vehicle

fish in the sea to die

stares

oxen upright

bearing death on a pole

the truck the smoke the flag

 

things all repeat themselves

I swim for the ladder to sink

in words and so spirits sing

 

balloon falls

cranes, the guard tower, lies

lights shone out

constellations, sharks

 

aliens and the made-up heaven

 

eye each and a camel, is it?

all things set to see out loud

 

the dam, a wall

beyond and under

where the lost live

 

a highway through it all

the tar pit and the dinosaur smoke

 

after a while

among the voices

will hear your own

 

puddles and someone proclaiming

each creature only just come to light

 

all thread all sewn

 

aerosharks, dozerbulls

rabbits yet to bark

 

village on stilts an aquarium now

a flight of the parts

of the decomposed

 

having taken to the dark

we otherworld

it’s as if to swim clutch

 

far moonflock

strangenesses

 

crashland tilling

bells in windows

 

some lightning and a satellite

grey as the pale of dawn

 

there is no net catch it all

 

things fall off

things erupt

 

imagine all this otherwise

imagine so it may be
