AUDUBON
by Anne
Carson
Audubon perfected a new way of
drawing birds that he called his.
On the bottom of each watercolor he
put “drawn from nature”
which meant he shot the birds
and took them home to stuff an paint
them.
Because he hated the unvarying
shapes
of tradicional taxidermy
he built flexible armatures of bent
wire and wood
on which he arranged bird skin and
feathers─
or sometimes
whole eviscerated birds─
in animated poses.
Not only his wiring but his lighting
was new.
Audubon colors dive in through your
retina
like a searchlight
roving shadowlessly up and down the
brain
until you turn away.
And you do turn away.
There is nothing to see.
