from Curtain Speech // by Ellen Adair

We make a lace of spaces don’t we?
I make arson from an electric candlestick,
you pull the Cambridge courtyards out of words,
I pick up your syllables from the venerated air,
we discover double functions for a hand,
you lash a raft of it, I write romance in a palm,
we construct lives out of sentences,
love out of bodies.
