we land in the nite

Noelle de la Paz

we land in the nite an erasure* we cut and ran between the blades, by the intricacy of the leaf-shaped defense. we made a break among the wavy-wavy double-grooved forms of belonging, and recurved to balance bone— beautifully, in the manner it is possible to trace patterns derived from the sea. the fulcrum of the jungle forms in kindred time we play through the elaborateness. we may be lavished in ornamentation. it may be simple, embodied in hundreds or even thousands of us. that makes it ancient, typical, useful from across the horizon, carried in the collarbone, the heart, the thorax. the parallel edge always has a certain curvature which permits the drawing base is widened, an enlargement of the aperture. its center is held in the hand. thus the writers re-present a record made from such material, shaped, crests and all, of hours, springs, leaves, steel, and blades in the nite. *The Collection of Primitive Weapons and Armor of the Philippine Islands in the United States National Museum (1926, Smithsonian Institution, Bulletin 137)
