Sonata Mandala to the Penumbra Bird Poem by ROCÍO CERÓN

Cortical. Subcortical.
Forms and representations.
Pulsation of forces.
Vibration. (((( ))))

Scent on the woven rug
(warp and weft,
unknotted, Afghan,
antiquity: 135 years),
clue or souvenir.

Hyperboreal smell: wild mist of civet musk.

Body's simple landscape, dermal aura,

death.

Scent of tea and points of star.

A splinter controlled like algia.
Siege. Siege. —Leave that space untouched.

Scent of earth and race. Lift up the cover, see what's enough.
Contraction: "count the seconds, breathe deep in and out."

At a time like this, with this smell, any man would lose himself.

:

Cortical. Subcortical.
Falling over and over again.
Tentative and honey on the lips.

On the grass, the leaves. Up above her hang stars.
That woman (seen in Baden-Baden) entangles every fold of skin so that others might enter.

Intense curiosity: Where does impossibility go, the gritty interior of a man, the solar vortex, sight, autism, the hand perched on a nubile knee, the unidentified celestial body, the oyster, the time, the gust of wind that scarcely stirs the Baltic sea, the maimed body, progress, violets, rosemary? What are the intense particles of prussian blue moving toward?

Even the sweater drips. Fabric that only just covers the mountain.
Nothing remains on the grass. Maybe bile on crest peak vertex.

Teasel.

Then the mouth of the river:
Camouflage. Suspension, blood in suspension.


Cortical. Subcortical.
Forms and representations.
Pulsation of smells.
Luminous ghost of present.

Galoxolide.

Artificial plasma. Aerial gravitational field.
Millions of cubic meters of air for one lone particle. —Deer.
Sexual, Fetid. Synthetic.

Pleura.
In the midst of the stampede, a hand rests on the arc of a kneecap.
Limit.
Oxygen to supply the siege. Furs pulled close against the wind.
Cage.


(((( ))))

What's enough, what's implied. We were three radiant orphans. All of heaven set up camp in our eyes. Refraction of a ray of light. Satiety at the foot of language —Penumbra bird.

Sonata resounding through bedrooms: andthebirdsenterinthelips, aural mandala. Bird maw. Hypodermic. Space bird. Aurora borealis. System. The most beautiful. Cellophane bird. Upright. Clump of marsh marigold. Ditch bird. Metal dishes. Opal bird. Ball of purple yarn. Net and plumage buried in blood.

Garlands and matches. My index finger on your body: the thought cleaves liver cervix pleura lung; everything is fleeting I repeat: images: I repeat: images. Everything is fleeting.

Open to the sky. Dry, soft, sticky. Purple; bitter on the tongue.
Persistent. Smell.


Cortical. Subcortical.
Shapes and representations.
Pulsation of traces. Pulsation of traces. Pulsation of traces.
Pulsation.
