intoxicated


‘wh’ of wings
against the density of atoms
lift and float of colour
warp and weft of backlit white
scent of morning warm
dissolved in nectar’s memory
a measurement of night,
torn shell birth
dizzy on the wheel

intoxicated
five months in
a butterfly farm

collaboration Amanda Joy, Coral Carter

becomes

clouds rumple
stormy season
- hangs

will break
china cup
splinter
spill

light bounces
all angles

per-ting
per-tang
sproing

when mending
use water

medical conditions
refolded

join a flock
wear the uniform

watch
pigeon becomes chicken
