| Hour of Lucid Vegetation Copyright by Christian Hawkey Audiovisual sky, crimped by a skein of geese, our skeletons locked upwards & into place. Look up, & the mouth drops open. Look up & the sky drops in —a blue guest— one white cloud snagged on the tip of our brain stems. Drainage occurs, in real time. & the one who told me our posture determines our experience of time was standing over me. I was lying down. A water-bead shot down the weathered surface of a fence post, which rotted right before my eyes. |
