Mask of Sand by Ariel Riveros
It may be with you
your natural life
term. City arrival
not determined
Fall an analog pillar.
Be invisible to eyes
bar your own seeable -
and mask of sand
have haviour behaviour
like
saving crosswind
to see sight.
It arrives and leaves out
of description.
You are heard
sounding like
stung faced
gained grain.
You're eyes are
covered like
book cloth.
We read
imperfectly
counter-cartograph-centric
to the map of a
mercenary science.
X<-- you're here.
No. I'm here. No.
Here. I can't fit
feet on ink.
If you must scream
and throw your hands
On the ink where I stand
then form me.
Move the molecule,
trade me the visitant
who cast sand masks
flecked fluvial
littoral paper bark.
devil rides
the paradox back
The smaller the
pearl the
greater the
desert weighs.
