Two POEMS
The Atom No 3
T h e b I am o d y
m u s t a pressure gauge b e m
e d i with a circular face. a t e
d b y Wheel - spinning and g o i
n g t dice-throwing. A vast body of par- o i t
s c e ticular events. The very word n t e
r a n refers to a process yet incom- d d
r a w i plete. Lilac circles a scale of am- n g
f r o m bition as a location within. t h e
s e a n e Such flower holds open w f o
r c e s a door.
The Atom No 4
T h r o u g h i t s l o n
i n g t o Pink c r e a t
e e v e becomes a kind of r m o
r e b e receptor surface. Her rup- a u t
i f u l ture with academic protocols f o
r m s historicizes self-possession. To f i r
s t o know the starting point. Exer- n t h e
e t h cises for the spirit light awake e r i c
p l a n which we call yellow. To e , a
n d t darkness which we will h e n o
n m a t name blue. t e r ,
