Write this. We have burned all their villages.
Write this. We have burned all the villages and the people in them.
Write this. We have adopted their customs and their manner of dress.
Michael Palmer, Sun
Our pages burn themselves as theater, awaiting an extinguishing mist.

(symmetrical poem)
The word "dream" is technical and means nothing
so we can use it whenever we want
Max's dream has masks
and is lit from the side and the back
I did not dream this dream
but lay with eyes open instead
and the dancers were my friends
We have lived a life that lasted some time
Now we live another, liquid one
Our vestments are invisible
say the crows
Our lake is a secret
imperfectly kept
says the Ténébreuse
You must stay awake until this ends
Michael Palmer, from First Figure (1984)
A poem by Michael Palmer
After Midnight
Sometime after midnight Han Shan drifted down a mountain path and arrived in my dream only to announce that every angel is terrifying, also that heron you saw by the muddy pond was not real.
You, reader, may believe this or not. Han Shan said that he does not though he spoke such words to me as if they were his own.
