In search of
.....................traveling in sound territories. Each
parcel
.....................wears a mask to find new
contacts.
.....................It can happen behind a
subway window
.....................or under the
cathedrals' blue rosette in Chartres.
We imagine that such waves of a journey
return
.....................night light the sea has a
weaver moon-moved.
Advice not settled means more time is needed
until
.....................exchange can take place. The
more separation
.....................the more will be
invested for understanding.
As long as the code of meaning is kept unknown,
......................the partner enjoys confusion. Out
of this
......................demanding concept
nervousness begins to trace
......................areas
of identity.
Negligently for a map showing a path to get closer, we
would
......................like to bend a finger, start
all over, call it the joy,
......................the
concentrated effort in search for a new
game,
......................the purpose purblind
persuaded
.......................black eyes side by side one
sleeps, one is awake
......................dominos.
A poetry reading
Attention of the audience is so
intense
......................a cat feeling too alone
leaves the room.
With the heat of listeners expanding, trapped
vowels
......................cross a nomadic thought. On
the wall,
......................dust and the virulence of
words
......................partly swallowed finding
shelter. During
......................a collision of
tongue and teeth, relations
......................of
sleep, thieves and silence light up.
one ant, unimpressed, finds a way along
neighbor's
......................Leg hair. Passing columns
of a temple,
......................the block of speech is
leaving a gate.
......................Close to learning,
confidential swings
......................adopt each
other.
Into whose space intruding, a sentence feels at home?
Wind in pine needles take over the interior of pending wishes.
For two
in which motion along the gaff? there 's the
veil
..................... of a siren, rope,
back-winds.
..................... The spinnaker has it to
come coming to be blown.
......................A
sea-launched skirt, it reddens the foresail.
Premonition forgetfulness? Chill in the Y of a
seaman's
......................fish-hunting fork. That
hungry? Egg-clouds depart,
......................they lull
a luminous language into
caverns.
.....................Through a minimum of echoes
one hears
......................the Electric ray,
resembling a book mark. The quotable
......................mark, the smudge carries the
picture of a hard palate.
Probably the obscurity of getting across to a neighbor
.....................determined to make a swing meeting
both halves.
This is a preface
all following lines are prefaces
12 o'clock pm outside
the window moth wings
beat.
.................................Since half an hour
you're part of
it
.................................dreaming.
The quiet breath shows there isn't more to be wished
for.
................................Growth seems to be
controlled, seems to
be.
................................Immune cells respond
strongly before
................................getting
consumed.
Day time savings One hour less you say.
................................May I don't interfere in
places where
................................hands of my
watch hold on to?
Early today we feel the spoons' loss of shine
................................in our mouths. On the
knife's side
................................toward you
dried blood darkens, hardens.
A morning dove comes by, lands and shades two
bricks.
................................Since we avoid
looking at each other
................................the
dove stops cooing.
Eastward morning
may not where known but
stranding.
.....................The vanguard washes away
the vanishing point.
.....................It's a pretense,
aflutter, not a aforementioned
.....................in a
space where one can hear the hiss of a
viper
.....................tamed through neurosurgery.
That much of a split tongue scored off.
Moon-blue and tulip tree, both shaken. Moves
occur
.....................without fear, coming closer
appointed restless.
.....................Nearly a rare
anxiousness, one dares to call it
back
.....................into a February-attached room.
.....................There, the sleeper is held hostage,
prolonging
.....................the minute absence
defines itself.
Fermentation under a tent of almost awakening; even the
former
.....................pervasive way of viewing
aloneness performs with
.....................a
companionable dream-segment. It may have
.....................the strength of a cello string,
tightened from the snail
.....................to the
bridge; in between a long armed bow.
Darkness dismisses its prevalence- eastward?
Morning,
....................the uplift with a nuance in
behalf of resigning
....................Breakfast
including oatmeal, then the
vulnerable
....................two egg yolks.
Lost later found
....................near the
train
....................the
pocket-mirror
................... I turn it
twice
....................my picture but not hers.
Preceding profile
in the house of magnets the coil relates to the copper
wire.
..................................Rapprochement,
winding ? No,
electrified
..................................the heat of
July returns.
The foreground shows a resident mowing. The
indentation
..................................indicts a
tame dear
passed.
..................................Rankness leaving
a subject, annoyed.
..................................I
abstain.
Neighbors ransack moist places for the taste of rubbery
fibers.
..................................A fly , sensing
white spots on a red
pillows
..................................traces the
thirst of its own.
One system and such immortal sacrifices to the
color
..................................of give-away.
Whose power is going
................................. to
compete? Curves in the shade
..................................of affection differ;
they lean on
preceding
..................................confirmations,
given, not installed.
..................................Their profile resembles
a move under water.
Stability is held by two different weights in
correspondence:
..................................one
uplifting, the other to be lifted
into
..................................a gallery of
proportional light.
On craters earth shine flooding the moon;
..................................can some of it become
mating?
One hole seems to laugh at the beach of Copa
Cabana;
................................. there, tiny
textiles
communicate
..................................each others
cells.
A shark tattoos a mannequin, in good faith
continuing
................................. competitive
tense. Here we're in convertible
..................................vacation-mood; copper
tone wrinkles
..................................resemble a
mummy's centuries.
Service
................secondary by aperture
but how
................dependent on a fold-up
tripod.
.................Flirtation, mercurial,
lightning-like flashes.
.............. I use a
delayed-action shutter release.
Clouds cover half of the Montblanc.
Moving
.................sheep wool and the beard of a
Swiss
.................wood cutter stay countable hair by
hair.
January his hard time. Kids to raise.
Those mon Dieux,
would be first grade material,
.................could
defend half of the country.
.................On leather
shorts, hail clicks.
There are satellite-taken pictures. After the
cobalt-blast
..................the landscape resources
will stay unchanged;
..................they say, a local
population that does not
..................give in to
serve more cheese
..................or secret bank
account numbers
can / will, Monsignore, be endangered.
Heat-blurred contour
lengthwise the parachutist jumps along the
security-line.
.....................There seems to be a
little more than sports
......................going on in
the desert.
Sensing a taped prayer, vocal cords sound not
quite
......................natural to the Sheik's falcon,
freed to catch pheasants.
......................Are the
birds opinionated about prey, similar to
......................the well trained parachutists?
......................Occasionally itches? proving
entertainment
......................of other materials, a
cry of crashing glass emerges.
.......................From
a cock's throat phasing out pure yellow.
......................The gun is up the huntswoman's two
hundred
......................pellets circle the air.
Autumn umbra and mauve explore heat-blurred
contours
......................of a lately accomplished
Mercedes. Is this the new
comfort?
......................She gets a ride besides the
conqueror.
Steel noses drill oil into pipelines, the upper end burning gases.
Torchlight or is this the minaret on fire? A licking
hortative hint
......................pampers the eye.
Cross-questions play the thirsty mind.
Masking autumn
Pumpkin pillow Halloween rolls its
desire
...........................like a sea-soup to the
shore.
The esophagus obviously works as an
elevator,
............................sweets occasionally
get stuck.
............................Addictive licks -
could this brown
............................chocolate be
a skin wanting more to melt?
Ingrained wishes knocking on one door, then on the
next,
.............................neighborly, neediness a
habit. The gender
.............................libertine.
Noon, when it occurs
organized
.............................waiting for a long
evening.
Such a bottling of grimaces on screen; one would think
.............................one's own mask alone should
do it equally.
..............................Stockings
hide a face - my friend?
..............................is
the shooting real or do we watch TV?
Flashing red a cop's breathalyzer keeps Daddy away
from
..............................coming home in time
that night. The ghosts
..............................of
autumn are in search for spirits.
..............................Something takes aim,
inhabited,
antedating;
..............................fruit-strings
break the slime the yellow seed.
Away to
.............. the unsettled, the ironing of
one of my
...............white shirts to go out meeting
swans.
...............A half-attached commitment, the
tie
...............balks some sprinkled-over
violets
...............breaking off and revolting against
edges
...............seen from others as the collar.
Near the river, we foreign guests
...............gather under and above the bridge
...............au Quai du Louvre. There, on
Sunday
...............a painter's easel leans on the hand
rail.
Today his Seine becomes a charmer on
hold.
...............Swans emerging as if they wanted to
appear
...............as white spaces left empty in a
watercolor,
...............enciphered while they
themselves are flying further
to a not yet chosen unattached
commitment
............... on their softest own.
Control, but
lead along? Languor, is this where the pencil
goes
.....................on late afternoons for wiggle
line-work
.....................or is it the papers own
decision-making
.....................how much white is
decided to stay white
.....................during a
graphic's gray deception?
Debarkation relentlessly accuses
me
.....................having the picture in mind not
under control.
Relevant information creeps into the finger's
muscle
......................for whatever acceptable
partnership.
......................Pure remembrance is in
a stage of giving up
......................credulity.
Something knowable,
imaginable
......................becomes familiar during
an upgrading
......................mathematical process
between constellations.
Wittgenstein gave in after Lucretius' simpler
annotations
......................to what can be drawn and
hidden
......................into the cards during a
twilight hour.
Is virgin-wool the warmest cover, does the tomcat
follow
......................only her? Are the two pounds
of asparagus
......................soft as what is wished
for?
Installation of a fable
how long not be
willing?
................................Why does her
letter return
................................when hay
feels stuck in yellow?
................................Of
whose behest and
dozens
................................and duplications,
and departure
on the hillside the upper part of a horse appears
arching
................................close to me until
the appearance
................................of its full
size destabilizes the color of my skin.
Luck of power? do the ongoing leaps evaluate
voices
.................................in favor to the
listener? The assault course
shrinks.
.................................Foreseeable
steps follow the
unforeseeable
.................................with a bug
on its disc.
The foretold becomes unreadable, the truly readable
................................is already accepted.
Let's say it is in the
face
................................of a car's rear
mirror: eye lids down to a long
skirt,
................................the pattern fading
along with its folds.
On the throat less exaltation. Several questions
converge,
................................some evasively.
The gallery we feel driven to shows
Installation of a fable: on 36 screens, mythical
creatures carry
................................a twelve
foot gong close to a white
mammoth;
................................on its forehead,
soft curled hair covers the
number
................................of centuries it run
through.
