Dog

using words inspired by 3 Summers by Lisa Robertson

Dog

Colors,

sensing time and knowledge

perfume.

Formed knowledge based on form

rather than senses.

 

That dog sees colors.

That dog sees.

We are colorblind.

We are blind.

I sense that dog is color-ful.

 

Time will suture knowledge.

Time is fluid.

Time alone is colorblind.

 

The form of bodies.

No color.

No knowledge.

 

To em-body our own body-

every-body formed by senses

we can’t see.

The dog forms bodies.

 

Knowledge is colorful only when formed fluidly over time

senses, bodies, sutures.

I see the dog.
