Upside Down Worlds, by Chae Paterson

on
edges the circle 
curves a northern pole
its renowned deep lakes 
...seers abandon;

... icy weeping 
shift and shape
fiords grip
...crack uneven 

southwest:

a tight lisp sound 
once light full 
blues 

yet, spoken
in ochre greens

a climatic hush 
in white/black
      dream time

consanguinity;
tales of trailing 
footprints washed
in a sea rise
