Marc Awodey Poems

The flinty constellations
of each hemisphere curl together
over hands of waxen holly.
...

In a curvilinear spell
autumn reconnoitered hillsides
beneath dove clouds.
...

Pictures of Wednesday flourish
untouched by a moment's mind
though limbs have grown heavy
after Tuesday's disintegrating rain.
...

Vagrant ghosts found passage home
guided by each other, Anubis or other myths
into caverns hewn from onyx and anthracite.
They watched without eyes in vagabondage;
...

As a laughter of fugues coaxed nature into being
inexorable braids of lineage recessed
rudimentary wetlands waxed resplendent
microscopic creatures swarmed in soft swale.
...

1.
Under our empty sea a turquoise world exists
as a sickly changeling beyond recollection
in trench, plateau, plain, barrow of cloudy schist.
...
