These Indicium Tales

Lance Phillips

A sample poem from the book

“Who Would Give the Bird a Lie”

Creating a surface including bed & spine The red bird is resisting

On lips here her body in birds of the air

It is very fast dermis

A tightening there The singing birds Her body in pinch and hearing

Finch from the door flies

Lying, the robins are in me
I’m not interested in representing anything
Thinking lip taut, red
