poem || Lawrence Upton



speaking asleep
out of town
before the incense mob

luminous moments
a neon sign's
accelerating silence

the whole view
numbed in thought
clairvoyance perhaps

soft video
all things paper
tossing magnificence
shaping pages
barely the entirety

the possibilities combine
part heard

future neutral perspectives
outline quiet iridescence

empty

vibrating

verbal

mercury with a smile

incredible performances
of perception
streaming the bluster

imagine time a wonderful story
written
pushing into death

natural causes
seeing early versions of people
scattered

precedents for words visible
