this poem a variation on the original with intense and complex images accompanying it – to give some idea of the context, the alt descriptions of the images are reproduced after the text content of the poem
the content of the original poem flows from the second poem’s context and commentary and its visual presentation is simple with no image content
here’s the original page on an archived site

schubert 2

stale from the dream land

of bad angel angles

came the unintended experience

so I walked out

past what I thought I’d left behind

to dance in hot rotations

till I was cool enough

to be lost again

and sink to depths of who I never was

where creatures live through me

until I sing this simple song

schubert

watches the snow

listens to schubert

watching schubert

listening to the snow

listening to the schubert

watching snow

listening to

schubert

descriptions of images (top to bottom)

the background image lines the top of the page above the poem’s text content – it emulates a woman’s left hand on her left hip; she is naked apart from some draped cloth

then each image precedes the short line to which it is relevant

mannequins in the dark

female figure as a marble sculpture seen from behind and below with exagerrated genetalia and semi transparent wings

strongly coloured highly manipulated female model

behind a wall of water a woman walks out of a building towards a bright red bookstore

silhouette of woman in the night above and against colourful metropolitan landscape of demolished buildings and railways

porcelain doll adult female rotating within cogs and wheels and machinery

stained bronze torso of woman rising out of dark water and tangling greenery

artists model glass head with felt hat boiling in a pot of ferns

anatomically peeled back sculpture of pregnant woman gazes towards a sky machineoe or a small spacecraft and girders

massive primitive sculpture backlit by sun and in the sky tall buildings under construction

bronze circle divided into quadrants
