Let Goldfinches Fly Out of Yellow

Let Goldfinches Fly Out of Yellow

Meredith Stricker

 wild mustard 

 let the sun rotate as though seeming to circle the earth 

 let rain fall into storm culverts（暗沟） 

 and the blue dragonfly 

 swerve（转弯，背离） 

 out of blue sky 

 begin to count the beats of your heart 

 then uncount them 

 imitate a tree then imitate 

 a tree imitating you 

 then forget which one 

 you are 

 now arrange crows to reflect sky with their wings 

 and chainsaws 

 to wail across the canyon 

 like lost 

 souls
