From Jenny George’s AFTER IMAGE
You become Not-You. A postcard of snow. They tell me you are at “rest.” In the window’s cold rectangle: a rose arbor shipwrecked in a white field.

Ya Abdel Wahab Yousif, I/ call out to you/ at the boundary of salt and sky/ aching for echo/ I can’t fit the sea in the basin/ between my ears

Place yourself inside the damage Lights approaching top speed Blur in, blur out A need for linear relief Everything going awful fast Trees agitated by wind Keep the setting simple A bowl of sugar on a table Separated by a chair Not an inkling what it means Urge to withdraw Pull the ladder up after – CD Wright
