Static

september-static Barcelona

midnight-stuttering rippling between our supine-

bodies across the city

awake yet apart flickering

beneath the spectacle

exploding city

strike!

houses-crumble

strike!

the dispossessed

strike!

cloud-to-ground fire

explodes

I have been rendered serotinous

resin-sealed pine

waiting for your static-catchfire

strobe-hearted ready to take

root beneath newly-charred ground

body pulsing to goldfoil body electric bridges

distance suspended sky

fissuring-strobes all

hallucinatory

anvil-crawler lines tear through

midnight-dark

where is the

volcano? How do we jump inside? all

sulphuric and desirous we are

cloud-to-ground cloud-to-

body charged ready to take

root serotinous cones resin-melting our

city burning

beneath above between
