two poems by Donna Fleischer in the new otoliths issue 28, southern summer 2013

two poems by

Donna Fleischer

photo (gram)
a sunwritten receipt
conscious and unconscious nests

sensory-neural impulse interactions among
bio-geo-eco-chemo-astro- and cultural forms. It exerts

the immediacy of a photo (gram), light sensitive

photograph paper compiling one of a kind,
camera-less molecules, light interactions with
an as yet unnamed untamed something

that piece of

poem becoming,

Amy’s San Diego essay

for Amy King

Each particle has a gazillion sides, each cell
a bell. How does death smell?
salt makes the cell, the tongue, to shrink.
There’s a wound

somewhere, that hurts each
time it is touched

or not, touched, but yes touch
that the words may, wrestled burn.

ceaselessly along dream paths, a tanka by Ono no Komachi / bamboo and plum blossom

Though I go to you

ceaselessly along dream paths,

the sum of those trysts

is less than a single glimpse

granted in the waking world.
