Left: Artwork by the writer, also titled "Disappearing Objects."
Don't look at your hands while juggling; they should appear blurred, gesticulating skyward as if rearranging the heavens. The Pleiades constellation disappears the longer you stare.
I have been told to study my hands in the daytime; Memorize their warmth, arrange each finger's position. In my dream they flicker, drained of color and temperature, but if I hold them steady they follow me through the night.
I grow accustomed to the habits of a body. The lower lip bitten in concentration, the eager feet. When I squint, shadows under his chin, nose, and brow separate from three planes of light: forehead like a plum freshly polished by shirt-sleeve, and two cheeks singing under a lamp.
Behind eyelids, I see my hands on the concave plane below his ribs, imprinted in reverse color like the after-image of a bulb. In the body's absence, the vision of skin pulses and fades. |

We enter the salt marsh with fingers crossed for flicker feathers and boletes. The hillside provide bones: a clean spine, intact, a doe skull with a green map etched on her temples like pathways on a molded topographic globe. We lose our shoes to the bowels of the pickleweed carpet, one breathing, gurgling mass of beaded glasswort, sandfire, little red-tipped fingers clutching digested crabs the size of spiders, whose sun-bleached exo-skeletons glimmer against the dull estero palate. A chorus of marbled godwits chant kow-eto kow-eto as they lift collectively into the fog. The flag woven of their wings pulses a few beats and fades. |
