[The order of islands here] Poem by Michael Palmer

[The order of islands here]

Rating: 5.0


The order of islands here
If you take it

will I give it back
at two o'clock

Will you hold it
in my hand

And the relation to an eyelid
by the quantity of light

As in
His story's impossible to read

As in
We'll see it just in time

whenever we find it
missing

I agree with Savita. I don't quite get it, either.

There is something in poet's mind but I don't get it. Some Natural processes are easy to understand but hard to define. Defining one's mind is even harder that.
