Woundows

Meaning too precise is sure
To void your dreamy literature.

- Mallarmé (Translated by A. S. Kline)

I could have had this rewritten with a pen
Four years ago but then

Made a note of these words:

Wind, the breeze
Wind, the crank I am winding
Wound, what have I turned, and a cut
Window, a cut on the wall

Woundow

To remember I owe you an explanation
of the window on the flesh of her wall
The view is coloured how
Wrong impressions were painted
