Peter Boyle #2 Responding to Cui Yuwei #1 Keywords

Responding to Cui Yuwei #1 Key Words

Responding to Cui Yuwei #1 Key Words


Keywords migrate across my skin

house
leaf
ransacked sky

finger
downfall
doorknob

they press against my forehead
searching for the tiny
rust flake of the third eye
the small lock that will open
the corridor
                     the stairwell
                                           the great darkness

the narrow path across the dead pool of wastage

and there
on a far off, deep-set island
a cabin
and inside
in the self's innermost wardrobe,
held high by some
impossibly diminutive hand,
the cracked magic lantern
lighting up


the neatly folded sheets of the unborn
