Let Goldfinches Fly Out of Yellow

Meredith Stricker

wild mustard

let the sun rotate as though seeming to circle the earth

let rain fall into storm culverts（暗沟）

and the blue dragonfly

swerve（转弯，背离）

out of blue sky

begin to count the beats of your heart

then uncount them

imitate a tree then imitate

a tree imitating you

then forget which one

you are

now arrange crows to reflect sky with their wings

and chainsaws

to wail across the canyon

like lost

souls
