Dreaming, or: Foggy

A Cleave poem

In the form of two Tankas

thick heavy droplets		cloudy, directionless
the sun pulls up its blanket		glowing with pigeon grey light
weary, reluctant		hazy horizon
cozies upon bed of snow		making dreams of distant trees
covering the sleepy realms		humanity cannot see

How to read a Cleave poem?

Simply:

1. Read the left hand poem as a first discrete poem.
2. Read the right hand poem as a second discrete poem.
3. Read the whole as a third integrated poem.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
