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
