behind a certain screen
the real world
lies

the poet
has to make you see
between

the sirens and the sky

"Wuppertal".

One of a series of poems responding to the work of Emmy Klinker (1891-1969), a German artist born in what's now Belgium, dubbed a degenerate artist by the Nazis.

from winter woods we gaze into the valley where a city stretches out along the river like a richly woven carpet from Tibet. a distant whistle draws the eye past towers and steeples, stone and lead and verdigris, to where great arches measure out the land in red-brick curves. cast iron scrolls festoon the full gasometer, surround the station’s gaping mouth from which a brightly-painted tram car, hanging from its single rail, darts like a needle stitching towns into one vibrant patterned whole.

nothing is burning on the sun
nothing lies in between
the atoms of your brain
nothing is growing in the space
between our distant standard candles
but ignorance and fairy tales
and endless time

around cold states
the gulf of understanding
deepens

clouds of dreamers
sleepwalking
to their certain fate

so proud
of creaking stocks
for wrinkled turkey necks

wattles and daub
