adrian de la peña

i'm playing with the idea of a kind of speculative poetry. no title for now.

i.

wave swallower penumbras

we chose to condense 

into who i am

collapse into

my eyes

this

time

this 

clot

this

time

a second universe again

a pillow

then 

a pit and a stake

again

the pearl in the one

the knot-in-skein

 

an event again

 

and i

found

i

in carrying the carrying i

and does my carrying carry length yes

and does a carried length spiral yes

does length as spiral carry yes

in spirals

will a tubular yes

with the eyes of the visible

will rest come yes

and come to crave the names again yes

with the eyes and mouths of the visible

come to crave the names and the yes

the yes and the carried names to carry distance

with

 

with 

and loss have created distance

the inventor of gestures

creates the back 

 

the distance 

between 

the created heart

and the created throat

created time this time

 

oh lonely p

lonely pau

i’ve grown fingers

they unfurl before me like    

god

 

your direction

made an eye

and sees me

will i feel

before the fracture

 

try 

not to fear

the tempering

skin

 

 

veil of grace

architecture of veils

the

dimension of skin

 

the and 

and

the with

 

with and within
