I started off with five words from Crushed by Richard Siken, but I ended up not using them. Here are the words I chose: <em>smash, script, gasoline, sheen, bougainvillea </em> These words did influence the poem, however. 'Gasoline' made me think of fear, and 'bougainvillea' recalled beauty. I also used an image I read in this collection, of hands like birds, but I came up with that image before I read Siken's book, when I wrote a chop suey poem for the poetry collaborative. Maybe 'hands like birds' is an image that has occurred to many of us. <a href="http://mariacristinapoesia.com/2008/09/25/interview-with-a-hickory" rel="nofollow">Interview with a Hickory</a> I’ve been on a tree binge lately.
