The Cracked White

Mark Fleury

The cracked white
Paint falls from the

Eyes of the walled

Face, where the light bulb
In the ceiling shows
The pieces of the heart-

Shaped sentences hitting the page.
They’re witnesses that, when the mirror
Is jig sawed together again, form

One content, a string strummed to
Open outward word-forms: the only evil.
Can’t be separate from language itself.

The clown’s appearance is map’s
Face of a world’s cracking borders.
The lines from smiles of sadness
And happy frowns leak rain

Into the alcove of my head.
There, where word as Serpent
Covers the sentence-shaped

Heart like a hat, mind is fear
Of content. Word is fear of meaning.

The inward, string-shaped heart vibrates
Outward, filling my head’s spacious
Syllables with beginnings and endings.
