An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Thursday, November 15, 2012. Water (Sea and River). Currently reading, "Sea and Fog" by Etel Adnan. This made me think of Roni Horn, and her series "Some Thames," repeating photographs of that river. Both are slippery, but sparkling. Adnan's poetry strikes watery, beautiful notes over and over again:. Sea, made of instants chained. Where to shelter impermanence. A threat, for sure. What about the permanent. Particles, of thoughts? In an interview here.

Words had yellow wings, had a thousand delicate fingers,. Had big tusks, had balls - that their mutable voices rose. From some distance and carried to her on a blue wind. No. She dreamed of water. She dreamed of a single bright leaf. Tangled in a dark stream. She did. But you can't take. Her literally, and the story changes all the time. There are al...

An entrance, or an exit. (An entrance or an exit). Sunday, July 26, 2009. The heart's affection is enmeshed in vicissitude. What's most real is that which we never know, yet there - mid-point, invisible - constancy comes to find itself.
