Marcia Arrieta


on the way back to reality


mountains
like
castles
of
ancient 
cities

cities 
of 
cloud
forest
stars






the duality


of the incandescent
& white socks washed

do not number the pages
where doesn’t matter

unbroken
the road continues




connected to geometry


blue wooden horses     doors     gates

transatlantic rooms     residencies—

agave       rooftops      la calle del reloj





cobwebs leaves stones


I burrow

dust rag   broom   pincushion

I flee







helicopter over the canyon


sequestered.  the leaves in wind in rain.
silent.  the echoes like old letters.  windows.
radiant.  the islands. the camellias in bloom.
painless.  rooftops resemble canvases. wounds.
think.  somewhere the sea absolves the shadows.
walk.   unseen the stars materialize.







draw a timeline or arrow


wings   crevices   rocks

habitat loss

an interest in verbs:

observe

existed

allows

murmurs

replies


sit by an existential tree






the garden labyrinth.  


the bee.  poetry books.  a sip of coffee.
so many worlds.  seams.  eaves.
