The words in between

I’ve been developing some new poetry recently. I’ve been working with finding new poems within other poems, potential meaning and form from other’s words, often detached from the original meaning and reformed into my practice. This poem was developed from one of Jaume Plensa’s:

 

My shadow spoke.

I imagined you

hiding in the labyrinth.

Break the door

between each word,

close the messages

and speak

from windows:

Concealed shadows

Looking at you.
