FOLDED MEANINGS
IN MY BACK POCKET
………
It is only by doing something deliberately that the world can be revealed
and we can be made to realize that doing something is the same as doing nothing.
IN MY METAL MIRROR
EXISTENCE UNTIES HARD KNOTS
THREE KINDS OF ENLIGHTENMENT
OBJECTS SEEKING PLACEMENT
SOMETHING ANYTHING
COLOUR THAT SEEPS YOU ASTRAY
THEY HAVE TO DO WITH US
IN THE CORNER
THE MIRROR GLANCED
SIDEWAYS
IT READ VIOLET
I WAS FALLING
AND I COULDN’T MOVE
I WAS FALLING A LONG TIME
AND THINKING ABOUT FALLING
READING
QUIET PICTURES
IN A PICTURE BOOK
IT HAS TAKEN ME A LONG TIME TO SINK INTO THE EARTH
WHAT COMES BEFORE AND AFTER
NOW WHEN I GET HAYFEVER
IT SETTLES IN MY CHEST
SOFT AND HEAVY
AND NOT IN MY HEAD
PEOPLE SAY
IT IS TRUE THAT
AND IT IS SO
SO
AND SO
NO END IN SIGHT
I HAVE DECIDED
TO LIVE
AS I SIT WAITING
A
PREMONITION COMES BEFORE AND AFTER
A STONE FLOWED
THE MIRROR GLANCED
SIDEWAYS
IT READ VIOLET
I WAS FALLING A LONG TIME
THINKING ABOUT FALLING
AND IT IS SO
SO
AND SO
NO END IN SIGHT
I HAVE DECIDED
I AM GOING TO
IT IS TRUE THAT
READING
QUIET PICTURES
IN A PICTURE BOOK
WHAT COMES BEFORE AND AFTER
