LITERATURE MEME | Poets (1/5) – Richard Siken
“I was trying to describe the kingdom, but the letters / kept smudging as I wrote them: the hunter’s heart, / the hunter’s mouth, the trees and the trees and the / space between the trees, swimming in gold. The words / frozen. The creatures frozen. The plum sauce / leaking out of the bag. Explaining will get us nowhere.”
Snow and dirty rain
