Yves Tanguy
Moonlit colours out of a silken jar
The book of whispers
responding
not responding
Distortion has its weather
You're unmoved
you're a stone wearing dragonfly silver
a brush tree, devoid of soil
Breathe the foliage salt
breathe the circumstances
The wind in a bottle-trap
The ivory hooves of exile
