Seedpod, Microfiche
Gary Barwin
$4
a grass blade, a truckpublished in Ottawa by above/ground press
a small son
a constellation
evolution is an oblong song
the fishes whisper
seedpod, microfiche of twilight
a dewdrop observed, a cobweb
a weed-wrapped tongue or treetop
bulrush, an art song
consciousness
a fossil 8-track of the city
there is, my love,
a stethoscope whose end
is nowhere
whose earpieces
are everywhere
