“YOU MUST NEVER SLEEP UNDER A MAGNOLIA when the tree begins to flower like a glimpse of Flesh when the flower begins to smell as if its roots have reached the layer of Thirst upon the unsealed jar of Joy Alice, you should never sleep under so much pure pale so many shriek-mouthed blooms as if Patience had run out of Patience” — Alice Oswald
YOU MUST NEVER SLEEP UNDER A MAGNOLIA
when the tree begins to flower
like a glimpse of
Flesh
when the flower begins to smell
as if its roots have reached
the layer of
Thirst upon the
unsealed jar of
Joy
Alice, you should
never sleep under
so much pure pale
so many shriek-mouthed blooms
as if Patience
had run out of
Patience
