almost something here

ekphrastic for Keith Vaughan’s ‘Figure against a blue background’

 

axe and cleaver

other fallings

 

these windows

a thing leant into

 

posture of the photographer athlete

contortion slight facing

 

knee wounded

amorphous burden for the back

 

rough patch and genital shine

the anchor legs

 

everything’s blue, the rainbow too

 

what’s held? what’s let drop?

 

can’t be done without a body

blunt instrument, one great bruise

 

there’s no face to see

 

we’re not the ones here floating

 

but best of all

there’s no one

there’s no one knows what this is
