I have closed my
eyes to similar
sights and I walk
among smoked streets
I do not know in
what I hope is
the direction
of blue rivers running
wild with
will and
sunsets collided into
portraits on
canvas once
clear.
I really appreciate the way your formatting allows the poem / the different words to carry different meanings according to how they are paired. There’s a sense that this is one thought stretching down the page, but when read more carefully, slowly, the multiplicity of it comes through.
Like the mind itself shifting between thoughts and states. Words can be so many things depending on context and contact.
Love the idea that ‘hope is the direction of blue rivers running wild,’ but also how that is juxtaposed beside ‘I do not know in what I hope.’
Great poetry here. Really enjoyed the reading.
