We Two

We two

(Published at Laika Poetry Review)

 

We two

move backwards in time

receding towards oceans

dripping magic curses from our tongues

and spilling flowers from our mouths

 

We two

rearrange the alphabet

dismantling vowels into hieroglyphics of sound

speaking multi-colored syllables

and bleeding language from our eyes

 

We two

scatter numbers to the wind

decorating the sky with an arithmetic of stars

smashing the clouds into silent symbols

and making shapes from the wind

 

We two

swim in reverse seas

speak strange syllables

and subtract the stars

from the geometries of wind
