MAGIC MUSEE

Martine Bellen

1.

She, who’s over-conscious of her cage

Formed from heat, moisture, frost, concealment,

How it drips, freezes, fogs

How it forms columnar cracks gashed with glass

Toward the blue peninsula, gravity flight

The visible half of reflection

Attempting to obtain the solidity of an object

Or to remove the clothing of sound, genealogical anxiety,

Disrobing at the Hotel Eden

Inventing a way in

To that which is built over concept

2.

Behold, Thoreau sings for owls, Dickinson hummingbirds

Still life enframes world of spectacle

Or object-spirits

Dewish mute

The Pyramids are letters, some die inside

Cul-de-sac feelings or Stonehenge numbers

In twilight the lamp illumines ideological will

A weaving of walls, movable wicker

& caravan carpets strung twixt reeds

Our ground breathes, floats, as we wander

Into cosmologies, cosmogonies

Immeasurable emblems of circumference or protractor

3.

She developed the disease of demonic enthusiasm

On looking at a nymph,

Mystic hunt through childhood, histoire of fountains

Dominating the jardin canary parasols

Perpetual noon antipasto sun creme ballerina

Idyllic dying swan

4.

Wire-netted cage papered with constellations

Promises of progress or unfoldment from her magic prison [torso]

She traces an analemma, her eyes infinitely distant,

Maps night sky or soap bubbles

Navigated by songbird

Whose droppings streak the air

Reminiscent for us of a comet’s tail

The result of yesterday’s path-strewn bird crumbs

5.

Occupants of the Etrangers

Exalted chanters with a self-contained view

Small white frame

Moon

Sustained patterns of meaning

Spindly-armed shadows stretch through lace curtains

Historians of the mind’s voyage

As with other repressions, a vestige of the animal within

Seamless continuum, therefore the bordertown Nostalgia

Her liquid limbs, she interior

To the melody alone

Unraveled eveners

Foaming grottoes & feathered

Lures — yearnings of detachment

Symbolized and effected

Travelogue of a faun’s dream

Joseph Cornell
