I draw a line

I draw a line to

divide this space in

two in order

to know where I am

not

to render

this space unfamiliar to

imagine that I may not be

alone so that there is room

for a dialogue

for movement

Behind the brush

behind the brush we could not have seen one

another then was only sky

we had to leave wondering

among other things where

birds came from where birds go to

camouflaged by our leaving

thoughts we saw only ourselves

alone envying stones we were saddened

by logs as arms cradled down

back until our branches touched

by chance there was never chance

we are trees we have always been together

Visual Poetry from Seldon Yuan

Actor poem 3
The logic of mistakes and imitation

If there was company
This would be considered silence
Every tree cut
The highest fruits picked
Now as if every bit of food eaten
Language, inflection, emotion
a repeated shopping list

bread, milk, cereal, juice, water
