Danez Smith - Undetectable

soundless, it crosses a line, quiets into a seed

 

& then whatever makes a seed. almost like gone

 

but not gone. the air kept its shape. not antimatter

 

but the memory of matter. or of it mattering. it doesn’t

 

cross my mind now that it whispers so soft it’s almost

 

silence. but it’s not. someone dragged the screaming boy

 

so deep into the woods he sounds like the trees now.

 

gone enough. almost never here. daily, swallowed

 

within a certain window, a pale-green trail on the tongue...

Tishani Doshi - Girls are coming out of the Woods

Girls are coming out of the woods,
wrapped in cloaks and hoods,
carrying iron bars and candles 
and a multitude of scars, collected
on acres of premature grass and city
buses, in temples and bars. Girls
are coming out of the woods
with panties tied around their lips,
making such a noise, it’s impossible
to hear. Is the world speaking too?
Is it really asking, What does it mean 
to give someone a proper resting? Girls are
coming out of the woods, lifting
their broken legs high, leaking secrets
from unfasten...

A Missão das Folhas

Naquela tarde quebrada
contra o meu ouvido atento
eu soube que a missão das folhas
é definir o vento

Sandro Giordano - In Extremis

From Sandro Giordano's site:

My photographs are “short stories” about a world that is falling-down. Each shot tells about worn-out characters who, in a sudden black-out of mind and body, crash with no attempt to save themselves. They are unable to, because of the fatigue of the everyday representation of living, oppressed by appearance instead of simply existing.

Paisley Rekdal - Quiver

what do we do
             with memory, do we burn
or do we embellish it, do we
             study it like the elk

projected onto the archery
             studio screen, summer’s
gelatin halo shivering
             between its antlers, replayed

 

whether or not
             anyone will come
to practice on or witness it: is this
             what memory is:

 

static, unchangeable
              mind we step into
and the clearing opens: again,
             light rain, the scent

 

of moss, puffs of steam
