Before Language by Benjamin Socolofsky

 

childish mountain

mountain of children

meaning,

 

a river

rich vein

suburb turning

the city inside out

light foreshadows

 

black fur,

 

from which children decipher

before language from

what won’t – 

even sound becomes

 

heavy as i learn

you    (repetitive 

motion)     as i know

us, coiled being

concentrically living

 

the spoiled small

petals uncolor

the valley in between

two mountains

bicycle in a tree

pasted two things that don’t belong

together,

are you – 


Benjamin Socolofsky is a poet based in Las Vegas, where he is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. His work has been published in Opt West, Biscuit Hill, and others.
