COMPLETION THROUGH REMOVAL

COMPLETION THROUGH COLLAPSE

COMPLETION THROUGH EMPTINESS

figuring defunct

ellipsis suture out of song

chromatographic stop-gaps

inaudible breath sinking

music for the movement

sound casting out deficient

elaborating majestic

animal wake implanting

As I strode out past the strawberry patch, there was a taste of dirt in my mouth and I felt the urge to pick something from between my teeth. I walked with my fingers in my mouth. I was looking for my dog who had been chasing something. I saw a bird but no dog. My mind rarely abides in the place my body’s in. I searched for the dog while thinking about bed.

all the development

the petals and pollen

all the weather

because you want to be walking

and you listen to music

this is development

structure kinesthete trajectory

your motion because you inhabit

orifices

portal structure

petal deluge motion

fractured plan

bottom picture

motion of rock at bottom

of sea picture

bottoms out

picture set in motion

fractallated undoing

suture motion

sea sensation

walking fractal

unbroken plan

time suture

ferried me across

with you in tact

rock laden

awash in rock

thought motions mixed

living out to bare

There were even times when we felt that my paredros was a kind of existence on the margin of us all, that we were us and him/her, the way that the cities where we lived were always cities and the city; on the strength of giving him/her the word, of referring to him/her in our letters and our gatherings, of mixing him/her into our lives, we came to act as if s/he no longer were any one of us. - Julio Cortazar, 62: A Model Kit
