Robbie Coburn & Michele Seminara: Collaboration #5

Note   (Robbie Coburn)

night enters

and arranges itself around perception.

you watch the sky

disappear with movement from your eyes.

an image embedded in the drowning of silence,

you sleep here, since you exist in air

no pathway between shadow and a stillness,

still irises amounting as a presence emerges and takes

place amidst recollection.

though only the wind calls the seasons into change.

you lay beside me in a moment beyond this, my eyes trace

your body. you are a still figure in the untouched dawn

beautiful in the entrapment of thought,

     time dances along your skin like sunlight.

Entrapment   (Michele Seminara)

between shadow and dawn 

I sleep—you watch 

the sky. perception drowning 

in recollection, my eyes 

embedded in beyond. 

irises dance amidst images, 

my body a still pathway—

my untouched figure silenced 

by the entrapment of your thought.
