Solarpoetics

Wyh do we udnersntad a txet eevn fi the letetrs
aer in dsiordre

The letter A
like a membrane
melliferous the animal flesh
bread baking butchery

Alphabet of blood and ash
Litanie incantation
from the back part of her throat
salt for the stew salt
for the bread

Sings the poet maudite

When I in my youth
strolled in a blue wool dress
I strolled in a circle
of blue

The reading brain the eyes moving constantly
while reading

*
The letter B
when black letters of fire
patterns of animus across
the landscape

The place in the distance

Where the air
smells of poisoned rain
take one step after
the other

Where you do not want to go

An amalgam of words
in sequential order here where
you walk ahead stop
raise your eyes

We identify only ten or twelve letters quick jumps
three or four letters left and seven or eight letters right

The letter C circles
zigzags animates the plaster
death cast a solitary
workwoman then

From the back part of her throat

When I in my youth in a blue wool dress
I strolled among maidens monks
and birds I strolled in wind
cold and heat

Across green volcanic hills

There In shadows haze smoke
in three dimensional space
piles of charred human
and animal bones

The history of the neurology of reading
the existence of a visual center

The letter D whispered
in the dismal quarter where
absence of a picture the green
volcanic hills

Grain grape bread wine

The story of the shepherdess
staged and scripted sub-plots there
in a bucolic setting our lady grows
out of a mound of dirt

Her rose-bud mouth a crooked line

A breast vein as thick as a finger
the wedding feast bread and meat
yellow sulfurous a plume
of smoke

Some written words lit up or hidden among
geometric forms

The letter E
elaborate the graphic design
chasms and fissures
in the earth

Our lady grows out of rotting meat

Sings the poet maudite
I in my youth concealed and disguised
walked in three dimensional
space

Heat cold wind water

Data science
pain fear phobia multimedia
exhibitions photographic art illustrations
the ritual of baking bread

Yeast spores are ubiquitous in air and on
the surface of grain

The letter F
the preserved body rotates forms
sweet bacteria then the skin
of the fingertips

Chemical molecular where

In a circle they joined hands
ruiners and destroyers engulf and consume
victims and executioners ooze out
the urge

Staged and scripted sub-plots

Genesis to revelation
in elaborate letters shift twist and slant
disease famine torture war
earth air fire water

Everything begins in the retina
ten years of research on the reading brain

The letter G a graphic design
sight touch listen the sound
of grinding corn the smell
of bread baking

Then she brews tea over a fire

There in reddish violet light
violet light a jagged black line zigzags
a graphic design the head covered
with a hood

identity unknown tree rope grain

The air smells of smoked meat
his mouth waters taste buds pulsate
from a gap a fissure
a flow of hormonal forces

Begin to understand
the nature of the leavening process

The letter H
catches in the throat then she steps
backwards and flings
a handful of earth beyond the edges

Of a page you hear a hollow sound

The dry external covering
of an ear of corn then stepping forwards
she scatters letters cut out from
the skull spine bones

The form of a human body

When I in my youth
in a blue wool dress I strolled
in a circle of blue
sings the poet Maudite

The cerebral cortex a sliver of brain
barely thicker than a credit card

The letter I vertical
under an occult sky once upon
a time I sat cross-legged
in the crotch of a tree

Grape wine grain bread

From roots of plants
that bear the grain in darkness
light heat cold focus on
a common scene

Chasms in the fissured earth

The story of the baker
a set of skills in sequential order
the finished loaf A to Z
in place and space

Recognize in some dozens of milliseconds
a written word

The letter J the shape
of a hook and on the hook

the butcher’s coat
wind heat cold drought

Blood and mud flows out
of the right sleeve

One animal
gut head and tail measure
body length jaws claws
diameters of holes

The zones of inclusion exclusion

Salt for the stew salt for the bread
once upon a time my mother
was sold from me when I
could but crawl

Dispatches from the frontiers
of neuroscience

The letter K stands apart
like a barley plant
in three dimensional space
the dry external covering

A snarl of fibrous hairs

Drifting in circles
wind heat cold drought
and dead white the barley plant
cut down

Deboned and buried

Then the reading brain
follows one letter after another
beyond the edges
of a page

One millionth one millionth of a second
an episode
