SALLY ANN MCINTYRE

from ‘the architectures’

 
description, a modernist

lanes carve the air, the sky
a flatness regardless.

in the diminutive space of a close-up,
all the warmth available.

details of a hum, bared to the basic wire.
the severe halogen appeal

checked, between squares.
soon the building wholly stretches again.

feasting on place. or sunward
as cats lie, critical

of the conditioned breeze, against
its abridging of air, on a white

formica: dryness
that falls

SALLY ANN MCINTYRE

from ‘the architectures’

scarce indications (overlay)

the slope of the terrain, terraced: colour
spun between clumps

toward the tip of the curve,
a single patch. the sound of birds,

plaintive, nasal. lateness. the reflected
image, darker

although more brilliant. light goes, leaving
the list of parts: to dismantle

what is ordinarily understood as
the motionless sky.

down and left, a reflection
which forms a loose V. the last flakes

of grey paint. the voice
has shifted: it now comes only from the oblique

direction of the dark line points. finally,
with larger shifts, it melts

into the main surface
or disappears.
