behind yellow ink

shiver

break this cold spell

through the language designed to inform

identity

or one’s place

in regard to many places

at the carnival, observe entangled color

and sparkle

marginalized images circulate

fit into pieces

of a modern suggestion

between spaces of syntax

and topography

the observer breathes crowded

air, dreams of the arctic,

finds letters dismembered

shuffled into a pile

and begins to assemble
