Incantation

"Ten Weeks by the Sea (Recollection of Parallel Intervals)," 2014, Mikko Rikala


Incantation


I forbid you from talking of weather
Let us rid ourselves of skin within temperature
mood within flesh husk

Let us scoop out with a rough spoon
from our language
what day it is
what time alights on us and sparrows past

We will disseminate all encyclopedias
all bus timetables and maps
They must lose their modesty for our sake

If we could say
what we wanted to say
how would that sound
