POEM & PICTURE

by Jennifer Burch (poem) and Kristin Capp (picture)

 

Our building floats

                                                                     the world is round
                                               edges are piles of darkness

                          we go below

       fish
       drying

                                       think birds on a wire

            in another city
            see a room from the floor

                                          how leaves turning up come in as we wait

                        no one but a horse under the moon

a story behind a window

                                       not quickness
                                                   sleep or dance

one after another

                                                                        our hair in clouds
