Roar Shack poem – Alice Fulton

Many see a flutterby when they look into this

omniscience I see as a skinniness too densely drawn

or a mystery unhinged by its own symmetry, a twinning

I think of as a listener that thinks along

with me, fused in a tweed, a red herring-

bone weave in the dazzling darkness

and bleached afterness some see

as a necklace of brilliants curved in gift. As if!

A color visible only in ultra-

violet light or a source beyond mathematics I think

of as a second self, an underhum. Or thought. Till I saw

innocence tortured by a force

beyond kindness, an unconditional indifference

or wick for wickedness that wanted trauma dolls.

I tell this as a clock tells time but telling can’t diminish it

as clocks can’t dwindle time. Am I still alive?

Birds that sing behind a waterfall, horses kneeling

Christmas Eve are what others see in what I see

as us delivered up to this chill that searches me.
