Beached Heart
layer flowing of
ocean in Whale-God
with pearls, jazz
cat* in belly
salt blood a
political flow-body of
ecological appropriation
against fishermen
siphoning ocean water
mollusk, crill, sand
singing whale songs
in matter-energy flow
its capture
the red sand
blood-flow against
black co-agulated ink
a linguistic continuity
politic of ecobeing
folding fish bone into brine
ocean foam

Beached Heart, a poem painting, though the words in the drawing are a poeming different to the poem, about a harpooned whale.
Love the cat.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteAnd the swing line in the art, and the beat of the poem that feels like scatting.
You never know where Schrodinger's cat's going to appear!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry.
And thanks Deb. I like that, scatting. (Though I was reading Deleuze again. (sigh :)))
