FUZZY MODULATION
Blithe Spirit Volume 34, Number 3, August 2024
the horizon glows up in a streak of lemon and carmine above & below a series of shades of grey
a second later, as they multiply, they and they
they darken the room, lower the shutters, push slide after slide through the projector
look at the images on the wall, and the wall
that-was, and that-was-when, and I-think-that-was-in, and oh —
someone longs to leave the room, it goes unnoticed
see-saw
the last time
the first time
a cup of hot chocolate
after a while, the next slide appears
where thy gentle wings abide*
