Relocated Poem

It has been found written on a small piece of notepaper filling the page. There is seems anchored to the space of the paper; here it floats away

boy back

down feather-dust down
an articulate cascade
cat-archly column

It’s dated 19/7/98. It evokes finders lightly running down a spine. Handwriting like vertebrae.

Boy Back – scan of handwritten poem

Ten years on, I notice it needs a syllable or two. Delicately placed to turn nouns into adjectives.

boy back

down feather-dusted down
an articulate cascade
cat-archly columnar

And so for day 398
