Interstitial
You could place :: An opposite waving a flag troubled
on the ocean floor in a posit of sand and silica turning the water
blue - not a blue like this eye but one in a dream
that reminds one, a child of 8, 6 maybe 2 of dyes:
Ostern Hase chocolate eggs mother
dipping the Eier my ayah, who held us during our bout with dyslexia,
liked making words
into pretzels and smothering them with fudge. A Sunday of thickness which we supine prey and thank the gods of the sky (which is blue
but not like the water).
She told me that physics had its own beauty
is beautiful, still, moving a sense of velocity
nothing terminal in the arc of a dielectric
but they say: everything has to stop/ what goes up
must come down/ this is
all eventual/ a rose by any other name/desire is [a: biological] is [b: a
construct] is
purpose in purposelessness/we could go on but
the page the only thing that keeps, wraps around an instant
a message sent, quickening
a heartbeat lying on a minute to itself (what else but this separates
fiction from fiction?)
would have the nerve to place itself above
the rest, a breath that pauses:: a period here that does not stop the
wandering eye.
