Stanford Cheung: Even Blue Is a Body
TRANSMISSION TOWER
You forget even the blue is a body
hiked by ruptured skies
ready to burn like little cracks of wire
scraped over a sheet of blue
and the sun’s unsinkable shiver
dreaming their next lives over shores
inside stars
Then another day strung like faces
in a field pulled away
Beneath rocks
the sound of clouds swept by wind
never stopping to look
but at themselves
