INDEX
-----
to reiterate the tandem shimmers slightly AM
----
I wake up in the morning, make coffee and sweep the floor TM
(我早上醒來 煮咖啡 掃地)
----
if I could cut water and share it like bread JB
----
bilya holds memories and speaks resonance KG
in its mouth light rings bend and constellate KG
ripples leave the stream to form permanent sound KG
--
percussion every leaf JB
--
kept me transfixed by proxy, or was it proximate to, the mouth AM
--
days line up neatly, for me to count them , husband them JB
--
my cat is blind in one eye TM
(我的貓瞎了一隻眼)
--
mind to rejoin the ocean JB
--
each day I take four pills TM
(每天吃四顆藥)
--
two exhales vaporise AM
--
the fountain runs in tandem JB
