Seventh ropes crease

And on the heavenstretched tower white light of midwinter cast, hollow above, eucalyptus below
Perception:wax to the hills, iron on the window, silk sheet flattened

Melancholia o f birdsong
Only hillside it seems, and looking for screens, the kind an image is projected upon, rather than the kind you can through see, folding the blinds and some one there, on the rooftop, wearing a pointed hat
The,A creature, risen above all others

When I first walked into the rain I felt a lifting of spirit, as though I had myself been kissed by god and promise entire, the world a freshly washed carpet, oyster tongue. The unbearable, beautiful feeling, of wanting to scream, to ruin and be ruined. How many nights I, a teenager, walked around beneath falling snow, and how many here, now, under falling rain, the earth happening now and folded into it, enlivened::mutable

porcelain stone, forever contain
one made of clay, creator of mine
oxide mantle, eternal shrine

DWELLER: my Breath of breath, memory:source

A place mine own, hollow being

Structuralism versus phenomenology versus post-structuralism versus deconstruction versus the real versus politics, poetics, and aesthetics in equal measure versus meaning versus reason versus feeling our hearts each one, all really talking about the same thing if you think about it very carefully or not at all.
