Ekphrastic

By Rebecca Wolff
there are some things up there
uptown
 
I want to see
 
I want to see    I'm going to look at that and see
 
I want to go up and see
 
that show. That show
 
I went to see, I went to see.
 
There are some things up
 
there   uptown
 
I want to
 
look at that and see. I'm going to see
 
what I look. What I look at, when I look, vessel,
 
I stood to see. I went to stand to look
 
to see. Venturing further I went outside myself to look
at that wall. It fed! There was a box inside that was not blank, I saw it.
It was really different from an aura, the thing had
 
colors, the thing was talking
 
to itself. And spoke
 
to me, not incidentally.
