written while listening to Figure with Meat, music by Grant Edward Tyler
by Billie Chernicoff
blazingstadium.com/issue-7

You can’t help a woman
humming —
or whistling the stripped down
melody. Nor can I
not hear her, a surge
in the foreground, a bell
close up, foreplay,
infinite,
infinitesimal.

What meat do you
mean —
the tongue?
A heart
beside itself,
twisting around itself,
breaking — a dance,
falling, a dance.

It becomes
even less —
origin,
first thing —
a swell I can’t help
calling feeling —
and can’t help feeling,
or calling.

Sound of no thing,
the nothing inside of
a bell, unfurling
a rushing train,
twilight —
tinnitus,
tintinnabulation.

O haunted Poe,
walking the old streets
of Baltimore —
Amity, Mulberry, down
to the harbor, hectic
meat in love.

Horror, the hair of
the back of the neck
erect, to tremble
or shake —
with (religious) awe.

You can’t help
his nerves
or the birds, or a river,
can’t help our brief span
of attention, a quiver,
a tell-tale heart,
or our fatal lack of
imagination,
our not being able
to get across —
Berryman
tilting,
Celan leaping,
Virginia
drowning herself
in the Ouse, stones
in her pockets,
and April,
who can help April?

I can’t help hearing
a siren,
a heartbeat,
the hero’s
heart tied to a mast.

The screen goes dark
and I can’t help
feeling alarm,
as if I’d been watching
the music, and not
merely staring
and hearing a heart
on its own —
minimal, animal, alien,
criminal.

The sound of what happens
between the stations,
Christ or Orpheus
tuning in —
because anything
might instruct a person,
anyone befall her.

The heart is a figure
8, meat —
from the root
meaning wet —
unlimited streaming,
the muse, a bowed bell.
