Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems. We pair poets with poets and they write a sequence of six new works by responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here
 

The six

 

Separated by time,
stretches of salted water
and changing cultures,
the days we meet we solidify,
crystallize into cascading
sextets and move in tandem,

our beat technofying existence.
We dance around strangers
steps varying six-fold, incomplete
without prismed partners, mirrors
of chromosomes trading places,
linking us completely to the end.
