undercurrent rhythm as fear
the water is
the opening of dreamstop IN FaLLing th e dr ops
re main in statis with motion in uncomprehending
silence that develops the picture of
h ang ing we ights abov e a mar ble fl oor
carved with tracesand we are afraid of the sea
as it releases the currentsFoRWarn ed is then like the reinactment of the end

bearings in the sun
with outer seams groping towards
signals from island posts[fragment #6063770808 . . . . . ]
the animals escape to panic
while the discovery inches towards silence
in myriad nations condemned to economic starvationin from solitude to relinquish the verticals of history
to stray from the biosphere of habit or ached egotism of wealththe echoes come through cold brick rooms
as search lights at last receive hanging feetthe asthmatic sounds from afar are in no particular rhythm
[ . . . ]bearings in the sun
losing the southerly direction of metallic life
where now the madhouse traces the majesty of period
and the bill arrives folded in colored lines
