Round
Round (Browning) 1/20 I refuse that this city is a dark void despite ghosts that come round our ears morn to night: you are robbed starved beaten what not Here is the ring and the book cast by streetlights the moon the stars All so over the heads of the people below And on a darkened street in February a man will be wrestled will be held and ghosts...

Shading
Shading 1/19 Apple is the color of celery The underside blushes to cherry blossom The leaf is a crinkled juniper waxed until it slides It smells like candles on the altar like spiced fall like a clean room in spring

Manse
Manse 1/18 Brahe aligned his house on mathematical divides His feng shui popped across the island dropped into the oceans off Hven and came up on the shores of Denmark There they grew into forests that reached the stars pine needles scraping the sky poking holes over all of the surface Light streamed down making maps over all of Europe

Pursuit
Pursuit 1/12 For 365 days you follow me – what then can you say about this body? What can you tell me that my cat cannot? Whisper under your breath whatever this secret is – if it changes the sky purple I would hate for it to get out

Read-write
Read-write 1/10 I wanted to make a metaphor about the mind being a computer file – about the way you can read-write – I wanted to talk about the pulling of information the acquisition of knowledge – See there’s this resemblance computers and humanity – locked unlocked – erased completely form the records – There is history – rise and fall like tides like balloons I wanted to talk about the...
