Disturbance by Dawn Garisch
we are mere players
in a pantomime, performing parts
which must stay true to narrative alone;
right now, this means weeping salt
into a chilli stew to the sound of the sea –
that enormous story, consistent and unfathomed,
repeating outside in the dark, endlessly.
“I write into questions of discomfort, tracking an image until the poem reveals a partial answer.”
