Invoke - Arto Lindsay

I call your image to mind

Call and recall

Tactile and olfactory signs

I list your numerable

And innumerable parts

All your limbs

Together in a single motion

Feast after feast goes bad

Many many winds hold their heads

There’s no rest to be had

I invoke, I invoke, I invoke

I summon your side effects

Your side kicks, a side stick

Summon and apply

Resonance and slapback

I summon illusions

Especially the flimsy underpinning

Of temporary things

I invoke, I invoke, I invoke

On my knees in a new memory

Wrapped up, set up

Being visualized

Panting and life-size

I call out to you

Up to my waist

In a howling wind

And all the trash it brings

I invoke, I invoke, I invoke
