“The Image that will Save Us”

to-for MMKim

so we must sing it. it is sound in time. the picture that will save us. tells us who we used to be. breaking into a voice of legend. elemental memories. elicited from nothing. falling in that trundled way. that voices carry. clinking. against a tin can's clank. just how far have we come/gone. into death and back again. guarding against any demarcation.

this cannot be empathy. cast again into the specular water.

fishing for symmetries.
