About Text Size: larger | normal | smaller
Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems and pictures. We pair poets with poets and photographers with photographers. Each pair produces a sequence of new works responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry and photography to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice in a wide range of places. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here, look at photographs 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.
