Before the beep

© Claire Morgan



where the founding father, the primacy
of colours, i hear a million words, verbs
in black and white, but no one

for Venice, i hear them

count : wishes, years, seasons
many more numbers, but no one sees
Hitchcock's birds, branches

are not what they used

to be, i'm out feeding
wild animals, you can leave
a message

before the beep
