from Holding Your Breath
A Year Without Breathing (for Wang Bang)
David Rushmer
1
hands
kiss the earth
listen
the sentence echoed
watching petals
this world split
motionless
weeping
2
folding you
yellow
blossoming homeward
time sinks into the sand
your body
the indentation
of a body
a whole year
listens to its rumour
loves becoming
driven
towards
3
no dream
together
walked the edge
of each other’s arms
where I long
4
every finger
tips
stars
my footsteps
to drink
