Dispellations: Reverb
by Anna Maria Hong
& they said,
let there be sound:
a brush of breeze to brisk the
spirit trees
a burr in the lattice of the lyricist’s
utter a snort
of laughter ever after the scent of ice
lacing under foot
let there be a tree of ruby fruit
let the asp be the ambassador
of touch
the ineluctable rush of
diamonds on bark
let the tongue part
acid-sugar-syntax-sharp
let song susurrate
dark to dark
