The Ringing
A wrong call. Or maybe, song?
More night. A telephone rings in an empty phone booth: shards of light in alto
along the aluminum. A person passes by, discussing the day to a cupped hand. A
car slides in another direction—the figure tethered to the wheel, dark maybe
tired, resembles other figures. Blinker flickering. Wet street sad yellow then
near black. Nothing summons.
What Gets Flung Gets Sung
An interest in an
interiorority. Semi-orbicular, perhaps. Or, if to explain (a quantity of logic
here), if to "have words," numerously, one must possess a sensed, a
fixed, idea, then the phone should ring, endlessly it would seem. Lights lit up
at night left lit during the day: something shining but not shiny.
The Mediator
Hidden hints—revealed in half
concealing. A switch. An eyelid. And sudden night supposedly—say,
reportedly—lit on the scene: an esurient etude. An undiscovered cave damaged by
insurgent forces of, well, not light . . . Paper-thin, the eyelid postpones
examinations; it refuses inquiry. What is obstinate, is obdurate, is not the
light, not the cave. And someone, who entails—maybe exudes—transition, might
shutter the night.
Ah Meditation
Without
pressure: a fragment of voice. Voice shards dulled by ponder. Instead, a
caveat: grey static ignited however far back. Then: swarm. Or at least, then,
the sense of it. I'm not walking down the street, not eating. No more squeezing
please. None of that. But, ah, yes, there are, the birds.
How To Go
There is an argument, or
several. Being made in a corner, beside dried flowers in a red vase: an aching.
Behind me: silence akin to cave paintings. Somewhere someone offers a frown.
In response: yesterday, I
believe, while I was driving the long highway, I was witness to movement.
Mentioning blur—blue, grey, green—lines, space, etc.—I turned. To myself I
seemed located. There were words, repeated.
