"downing your eyes
in slow motion—"
More Perihelion:
Bob Sward's Writer's Friendship Series
Autism
You are a white sheet
and I am a finger—
dipping
inside the throat of a song bird—
bunting blue
crossbill red
thrasher brown
goldfinch yellow
raven black—
dripping
gurgling
raining
downing your eyes
in slow motion—
iron bars
thicket fence
wattle walls
gillnets fine
square-meshed
double knotted
deep stretched
darkness - light
speckled - enjoined
framed - spinning
in dangerous patterns
without sameness—
what would you do to me?
Imagine.
