BACK
TWINS
j.r. pearson
spooks strumming shadow hum
sidewalk moves beneath
toward TATtoo
she is picturing a sparrow
beak banners saying.....something
soft flesh of her right arm
clouds & the season going over
tearing
trilobite skeletons swimming again
her brother has legs no legs
his spinal cord conducts
no neural wraith yet
he is eating an apple in his mind
(the sun is shine-heavy on the pink ladies- on his red lips)
wheelchair a whining attic door
daylight is every-here/where the wind should be
"We part for wisdom but wisdom does not part us!"
off to college & back again-so two sparrows
he is contemplating the number 2
(half two too to too two half)
the Buddha
& his legs
(semiotic recombination)
Mohamed
& his body
(The sky could be Gods blue eyeball)
clouds are white for a reason
