Half​-​Silvered Mirror

from A Tessitura of Transfiguration by Victory Over the Sun

/

lyrics

couched in the damp maw of desire
conjectural tendril generates
nacreous spheres, squinting

loose thread hangs from retina
mirror drifts untethered into cataract seafoam

clock holding its own hand
raving in thousandfold rotation,
iridescent face in shadow

throat pointing at inverted word
in the shapeless spray, my eyes diffracted

these silent bones will not speak for me
never will i be an arrow pointing

“at bricks I bawl,
thrusting the dagger of desperate words
into the swollen pulp of sky”

loose thread hangs from retina
mirror drifts untethered into cataract seafoam

these silent bones will not speak for me
never will i be an arrow pointing
