"paint me a heaven of love with
your bloodied mouth" 
— fredrico garcia lorca








 




drawn with chalk against the dark

• cranes, inescapable peel session 1990


on the thirtieth day of the last month of the year, a black moon. goodbye old world, hello new moon.

 

in this place i write something, "transient hemiopsia," a returning darkness. still some time before that i closed my eyes and saw flowers for the first time. for the first time i knew what it is to see.




chiaroscuro on film.

 

where i cannot go


threadsuns 
above the grayblack wastes. 
a tree- 
high thought 
grasps the light-tone: there are 
still songs to sing beyond 
mankind.

—paul celan



from here to where i cannot go.
