*sitting on the floor of the studio, a poem
The Front End
A friend.
Love
Who has a name that appears in Shakespeare
– never posted a single thing on her feeds.
She watches the world turn itself over
a furore of value –
Love
She consciously navigates below
Sub-marine privacy,
Unfeeding the load to say.
“Is there a mirrored floor in Old-fashioned minimalism?”
Stickers emote solvents into the air, someone must be working.
in the twenty first century –
Intimacy so acute, it goes unregistered.
Flickering
Alpha-rhythms and grasp private thought process All gone to grasp
Unpeelable and impatient
Still intended
Vouchsafe,
to attribute
so many odes to quiet women.
