Suejin Suh – (suh)


Suejin Suh

Water



     The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared.
     Sugar is not a vegetable.

              —Gertrude Stein

Water is not
an animal. Roar, water—stir counter into
clockwise and rewind the opaline
bubbles. Bubbles taste
salted. Rubber tub, duck your
breath beneath cellophane
waves. Unzip the curve, careful
not to rip what’s
not ripped what sifts eyeward.
