#2277 -- cut out of the picture

 



2277

7.84

26.iii.26

cut out of the picture

ekphrastic for

Nahom Teklehaimanot’s No Shore for the Living, No Shore for the Dead’ 

 

there is no face but made of another

no hand but must have held

 

lips and all the world drawn out –

disguises, chains of gravity

 

the dove of exile

wings to say

 

the grimace

a chess field

 

if there is a mask to wear

it’s all the eyes to haunt me still

 

one feels how we all fall
