Late Night Unspooling

Sarah Blackman

Because what comes from the body

is a claim for the body. The body

makes a claim on the air that surrounds

it by one millimeter like flowers

make a claim on their air with their outrageous¹

color, like bees do with vibration², or

young men with anger. At night, when I

need to be calmed, I inhabit again the days

of my children’s births. The oldest one tipped

blue and staring, the youngest round

and tightly shut. Mine says the body

Mine mine mine. And it means around it

the soil and the air, the greening light

that comes from the exhalation of growth

which is a plant’s only joy. On summer evenings

the child’s hair lifts up toward the roof as if the shape

of the roof could draw to it all unshapes

and make them triangular³. Power is a stable base,

is the eye opening for the first time—

the density⁴ of nothing and then sudden, shocking light.
