You Walk By and I Fall to Piecesby Devon Balwitin ragged unraveling, careful Palmer penmanship abandoning the lines. I practice a face for you, but it ends up scarified. Later, I trace your ink-whorled ridges, a forever darkness borne in my skin. No matter how deep I set my foundations, you pluck me up, a high-spinning hurtle which lands me, broken. It’s gotten so I don’t even try to retrieve the pieces. Each day I learn to live with less.
—Published previously in Risk Being / Complicated: Poems by Devon Balwit, Inspired by the Collage Art of Lorette C. Luzajic (CreateSpace, January 2018); poem and painting are reproduced here with permissions from both the poet and the artist. |
