always open
ing out a way
to see beyond
behind? the surface
inviting full stop
not step
through the canvas
vast blocks
blacks or dark
colours a space
beckons the eye
in not through
never through with
what the paint invites

Listen. If (UofAPress):
Four or five couplets trying to dance
into Persia. Who dances in Persia now?
A magic carpet, a prayer mat, red.
A knocked off head of somebody on her broken knees.
