On Joseph Cornell

On Joseph Cornell 


Constellations mapped in starfish
Spheres explaining
Spirals from the edge of sky
Conclude, obscured
Things in proximity
Edge past the names of things

Obsessive in the coming
The vision won’t speak life, but dreams
Copulating
Then structures (intimate) cohere
And symmetry is replicated

Niches of happened things
Stacked perimeters
Bird, shell, arm of tree
Reflect on where the idea of it lives
Item-icon tooled
In flecks of story not his own
