Film poem for BURN by Andre Bagoo (Shearsman Books, 2015)

AUDEN IN ICELAND

A sheet of paper crumpling on
Vodka, crevices draining into place,
Slopes of mountains torn agape.
I am in love with his face.

Desiccated cracks, diurnal longings -
Hewn, and by blades, eye a valley;
Skaters make grids of icy sweat.
This limestone, I will marry.

The island is my shadow and I carry it with me wherever I go, and my roots are the same as a mango tree or an immortelle.
