When I Walk out of the Museum |
When I walk out of the museum |
The wall of sudden light makes me crinkle up my nose |
And standing, coat half on, between marble columns |
I sneeze into the wind |
When I walk out of the museum |
I have centuries of dust behind my eyes |
I hunch a little bit |
From the culminated weight of all these other peoples' ideas |
I see a tipped over garbage can blowing in the street |
When I walk out of the museum |
I think about a snorkeler surfacing tangled in kelp |
That is me: writhing, wild attention, glancing around |
The huge museum doors behind me slam |
And I flinch |
In all of these brief flashes of momentary clarity |
The emptiness that cuts through is like |
A bowl beneath the sky |
Empty, not yet pregnant |
Fertile, without form |
It terrifies me, the raw possibility |
And I want to go back inside |
But when I walk out of the museum |
Everything I see seems rippling and alive |
On a freezing January day |
Everything: |
The museum |
And the garbage |
And the internet |
And the constellations |
All collapse into a heap |
And light floods out |
From this compost pile |
