the winter anthology
Vol. 5
Marcella Durand
from in this world
previous to ours
A weather forecast of colors like yellow, red
and direct green. A green ray glows just before the
earth shifts to dark and such a color means go, speed,
fast, machine and nature: leaves, grass, trees, everything
that translates sun to breath, breath to body, body
to wood and wood to page and page to mouth, then tongue, and
once translated breathes again to light returning
after a night of colors folded together.
