These can be read as two separate poems or as one connected poem. I’m not sure what this technique is called, but I think of it as twinning – twin poems, related but apart.
| Little voices coming from the neon clouds little star making tracks across the universe brew me a latte (somewhere he’s walking) with cinnamon & sugar (the flowers are talking) illuminated touch fills you with light inside, like fireflies exploding, bright streamers of blue fire turn children’s faces into Halloween masks little screams rising in the night chasing sparklers writing their names in the air boats on the water dance with their reflections |
I can hear somewhere close by flying low big metal bird painting the sky lazy brush strokes pale foam white (who goes there?) they’ll make the rain come (torrent of voices) we’ll dance skin to skin lost in the dark hiding in long grass sugar spilled stars flare in our eyes (they grow too fast) gone too soon fill us up before we fall into the fire deep in the earth we can still climb out of the mist into the moonlight |

and disappear. |
