Origin Story

Rending the cosmos,
to midwife its own star-seed,
to papoose night-bloom.

First Cut

Hard to move forward,
when bound to what’s gone–
She bought a new pair
of industrial scissors.

Turn Turn Turn

Each spring they return,
bound to renew small wonders–
Innocent by turns.

Year of the Snake

Night swallowing its
own tale of snake swallowing
its own tail of night.

Seer

How little they know,
of her flights beyond reason–
Her world, winged, widens.

I Don’t Wanna Work on Daddy’s Farm No More

Nesting, she brooded
on the future of free range–
No claims to hold her.

Disintegration (The Cure)

No sitters to tend,
solvent to its own winter–
If these floors could talk.

Girl, Interrupted

The girl in the chair
is no longer the girl in the chair,
she is neither here nor there,
she is always and forget-me-not,
soul-spray and glacial uproar
causing a siege,
she is the spidery patterns
of her exploded heart,
woven in to the ritual symmetry
of a fibrous arc,
where a girl once sat,
once upon a time, forever.

(Instalation by Izumi Yokoyama)
