BRAIN FLOWERS Poem by Jan Lauwereyns

BRAIN FLOWERS



Into the shallows
releasing a horse in the field

in the hippocampus
rapeseed flowers

the missing B-52 came down
the lost parachutes opened

some got stuck in the tree
one or two had their throats
slit there and then

by sturdy peasant women

he or she might
call it good fortune

and knowledge
nine states glorious hills
the others had to wait

for something impatiently.
