“A RUSHED ACCOUNT OF THE DEW I who can blink to break the spell of daylight and what a sliding screen between worlds is a blink I who can hear the last three seconds in my head but the present is beyond me listen in this tiny moment of reflexion I want to work out what it's like to descend out of the dawn's mind and find a leaf and fasten the known to the unknown with a liquid cufflink and then unfasten to be brief to be almost actual oh pristine example of claiming a place on the earth only to cancel” — Alice Oswald
A RUSHED ACCOUNT OF THE DEW
I who can blink
to break the spell of daylight
and what a sliding screen between worlds
is a blink
I who can hear the last three seconds in my head
but the present is beyond me
listen
in this tiny moment of reflexion
I want to work out what it's like to descend
out of the dawn's mind
and find a leaf and fasten the known to the unknown
with a liquid cufflink
and then unfasten
to be brief
to be almost actual
oh pristine example
of claiming a place on the earth
only to cancel
