Magdalena Ball #20 brittle birds responding to Dominique Hecq #15 Small cosmogony

brittle birds 
           responding to Dominique Hecq #15 Small cosmogony

there’s no starting point for this 
it’s unkind and you dancing
so wildly I don’t know what

but this is what matters   the moon
                      unmapped space
somewhere waking birds 
just coming into
themselves 
        knowing its there

glass compacted into 
                      a window 
pretending to be water 
a bowl
casting a wish that looks like 
a skipping stone 

everything is mutable
               can be converted to a new 
substance a new life
even this table which 
formed the heart of our kitchen
seemed as solid as darkness 
as scarred as love
