(a dream)

&the wolves, flitting

nightlidded in shadow fur

move from across a cement

canyon

-

the wolves worm their

faces through unmended

splits in the fence, all teeth peering

diamondfaced from a heaving

mineshaft, set in black gummed

swells each puckered around

her inset egg gleaming

-

the wolves snap at dark

birds, portent bearers who

dive from reach swimming

in the marigold night

It was only later that I realized the value of being bored was actually pretty high. Being bored is a kind of diagnostic for the gap between what you might be interested in and your current environment.

When we talk about books…we are talking about our approximate recollections of books… What we take to be the books we have read is in fact an anomalous accumulation of fragments of texts, reworked by our imagination and unrelated to the books of others, even if these books are materially identical to ones we have held in our hands.

(So what is perhaps more interesting than talking about what we thought of the book is what we end up picking up on to remember about it in the first place)

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul.

the landscape of her

shoulders and warm

resignation, above

brown brick veins and

pavement, absorbing I

unfurl within this

eggshell dome, robin

four non-corners.

am fallen leaves left

in the sun; the road

home is quiet and

the closing door is

practice. I am sisters

with your footprints

but, my echo erodes
