It is important to move one’s mind to make space for planets, conversations, for the rhythms of a driving car and the unencumbered sensations of wine. Ancient symbols of wisdom and disbelief.

Hitchhiker
hitchhiker in time have you witnessed the procession of funerals & signs? alternate states of chaos & religion ruins like a faraway place brother within a dream carried in on a mad atmosphere of change masked man drugs & caviar face like a higher god disappears & is confirmation of life
When We Were Islands
i am between time, matter and a violin a radical sense of happening for as long as walls have room to listen i argue with illusions of strangers gently aware of the sunshine at our backs (your hair is the motif of a long summer moon) a messy triumph of signals and rearrangements the way [...]

Woman, by Landscape
full moon a sense of symmetry by unsayable things idle circles (set with stars and) naïve fantasies of a woman, by landscape with the lights off and once you were and at once altogether (a hair’s length, but no further) such bodies as in pictures stiffened more flowers than in ink slow hands and daffodils [...]
