a bow tip where garments lock
voids woven by inventories
far from the water tribes
green earthly fish
an incense lamp emerging mad
lineages swinging drops of sweat
friezes piercing through dorsa
those of the sleep of the waters
down banishment street you reach the square
a glass dome
from nowhere can the sea be seen
days scratched on the wall down to the edge of the plaster
we know
not all magic
(is.
magic that fingers don’t follow
that fingers don’t follow us
we know we want days in colour
of (colour)
(you:) ready
it is the coming
that brings back to us the first matrix
of the routes we draw on our legs
and on the wrists of time
long
followed till we see
the sea of
us
