Red Town #27

Red Town #27

In the almond—what stands in the almond?

The Nothing.

In the almond stands nothing.

There it stands and stands. –Paul Celan

If I put it on my skin it won’t tell you who I am

skin designs light light fading the arm nearly

transparent with a dark room behind it

if I put this on my skin it tells a story there

is a story about a stove and what is behind it

a man leaning toward me a girl made of

feathers a girl could be me hoarse

barking white trees here is the story
