Sentence


Sentence
by Orlando White


Look:



paper screen



blank;



the color white,



a zero,



hollow light bulb,



the O not yet typed.



This means



no imagination
without
its imagery.



Letters can appear



as bones



(Do not forget the image)



if you write with calcium.



Because a subject



can be half a skeleton,



the verb, the other half



and the skull,



a period.
