The Truth About Northern Lights

编辑:chaxungu时间:2022-10-13 02:59:33分类:英语诗歌

by Christine Hume

I'm not right. I'm interfered with

and bent as light. I tried to use the spots,

for months I tried with rings.

Only now I'm thinking in cracks

that keep a modern light

lunged. I keep the porch light on

to burn you off in ghosted purls,

the licks of which filament me.

My Day-Glo tongue's cutthroat.

Though I'm not clear,

I'm a sight whose star stares back:

it's a new kind of dead;

it hides its death in my cinched

testicle. That bright burr makes me

unreal and itch. By the time

I'm something else, you're making weather

with so-and-so. Drama tenants you;

it wades in queasy waves,

mottled to the marrow.

My mean streak beams neon

so I won't be refracted

or led to reflections. My eyes

trick god's and kick the careless reversals

of radio cure-alls. Rays suffer

until they clench the damaged night in me:

where I go out, gone as done

in a mood of black moving through.

Darkness sits there, pleased.

An iridescent ire could not go unaired,

my limbs wicking at the window.

Look out the window.

I've outened the world

to show you real barrenness:

a void a light

warps into want and then wants

until it warps all it glances.
