lyrics

27 ii 20 by Mark So

our beautiful tree
beautiful time
the gravity and lightness
wiping away
blue scatter,
a line cut by
hand.
clearer in the first place,
anything words
this world was not like that
everything & all its utter sound
a lot of words
but just for practical reasons.
truth and its utter sound.
wastes of the beauties involved,
some kind of life—
all the remotest parts
—in the city, in the jungle,
blurred calligraphy.
the contact
entrance into braiding and flow
how clustered marks move on the page
big things up close
the wall, world against world
facility of tile in
mosaic notebooks
braiding and breathing a correspondence
in the open background
smooth and constantly broken
radical displacement everywhere
a gauze of reckoning and smuggling,
writing on the wall
go on now;
you gone,
with clouds
plants
thing notes
more light
the word is a person & there is laughter
a piece cut off
mere something aside,
in no ordinary arrangement.
into the room unexpectedly,
the phone rings
books nearby
I dream
from hand to hand,
nothing but detritus—
the background of things
