BURN, a film poem


Film poem for BURN by Andre Bagoo (Shearsman Books, 2015).

AUDEN IN ICELAND

A sheet of paper crumpling on
Vodka, crevices draining into place,
Slopes of mountains torn agape.
I am in love with his face.

Desiccated cracks, diurnal longings -
Hewn, and by blades, eye a valley;
Skaters make grids of icy sweat.
This limestone, I will marry.
