5 poems || Ali Znaidi


Stainless Wit in Every
Direction
 
bright white
young birds
in twirled nests
atop a lofty lofty
tree
left me astounded
they shine like
stainless stars

wish that
sandwich
was knot
eaten by
that witch
but which sandwich
& which witch
what a sandwich
what a witch
 
 
A Little Haibun
 
Y
ou :  will pretend to be visible
     : in fact you are a phantom
     : drenched in a symphony
of illusion—a hieroglyph not yet discovered
                   
                    @@@
                    terra cognita
                    terra nova
                    era of terror
 
a new kind of brew

this place is full of barley dust
dust that runs faster than the wind
the wind can’t collide with insects
insects of every kind
infusion+fermentation
a new kind of brew
 
a blue composite
 
to stand, , against
the blue light dreams
          visible
                     in your translucent disguise
gesticulations amplified
seeking abstraction—experimenting with
your thoughts
                             mind
                                     b/r/u/i/s/es
                                                scars
broken blue lights of flashy cars
^^a ride to heaven
                w/ out speech processing
think of little fish in huge seas
            dance:   :dense
                           expressions gesticulating
                           blue waves
           ~s~w~a~y~i~n~g~
