| Indigo |
| by Ramona da Lumine |
| inside her bones, semblances of reawakening are whispering, kitchen sets are rattling softly in time with a gentle tremoring of the earth; his words & her words & all the circulating noises & the vibrating memories smudged into an indigo stain moving towards one. […my hand extended to soften the fall of your red thread, your lips a cushion of moisture beneath my canyon-crossing…] if one could be under the other – blistering with crystal visions, glistening with flames & tides – there would be the seeds of an apocalyptic implosion dormant between their skin. the blot soaks in, spreads & swells & drinks in the carbon atoms of the paper; oxygen masks drop out of the overhead compartment in a mist of dirt & feathers & music – they are giddy, laughing. & we might suppose that they are soaring tens of thousands of feet from hard soil, outside the reach of the vines that ordinarily ensnare us in desperation & clambering, but maybe sometimes it doesn’t take a spacecraft to leave the stratosphere: gravity can be discarded just by holding our breath. |
