Martine Bellen - "Where to Perish"

Selected Works

Poetry

"Petrifying Jack Things, "Mountain," and "The Older One Becomes, the More Out of Order Time Comes to Be"

Left alone, an empty jug will replenish, so it has been written; mirrors will cast flashes from one's past; an apple will bleed; an acorn will swell into a giant. How dependable is the behavior of objects!

"Shadow Wolf"

We follow the she-wolf across the sky

"Confession"

"Who seeks an old poem?
A poem
long in the tooth
losing
its words?"
