Johannes S. H. Bjerg
Six sequences and their sounds
6-1
mucus morning and the Tiber is the Tiber
translated the name of the green plant is green plant
in my language there’s a running uphill
just because sliding a wet lemon pit across the North Pole
in his coat of butterflies Stephen (St.) takes gravity out of fashion again
with no one to catch them the pears drop just drop
6-2
when you stop burning saints fall out your sleeves
personified ennui a rock sans facial features
examining my little finger that tipped the horizon
the church on the hill still as the hill
still enough leaves to fill a hymn
angelfluff yea it sticks to the cloud in my elbow
6-3
pondering the signal value of a baritone sax during a blood test
what does it say the planet in my shoe?
at the Lonely Hearts Club darkness in small glasses tend the bar
the flame for as long as it lasts a pencil
unbendable a cormorant takes over my left hand
at noon our flock mentality gets named Karl
6-4
your hand on the window till the gull’s gone
up and down the peaks and valleys of an ECG black on white
wave and my surfer days never came
a floor full of rice well there’s that
a lot like Sicily without the sea without the sun
winding the bloodclock you unhinge the clouds
6-5
on a fictional beach a skyladder of flies
at the end of the story a hole and a wind
turning his face into a raven Two Feet escapes to Paris
the canal diggers make room for gondolas in your veins
psalm 51 on repeat following the pattern in the wallpaper
your inner cell solidifies your cells till they’re gold
6-6
sink into it and greed is a pillow
Ravel's right hand if only to drag the ocean out a nymph
right after the obituaries your mollusc ancestry
in a cotton padded matchbox your m.o.
alternating between sleep and awake unable to sync to the rain crows
piano he says leaving through the wall
