Discord of Analogy, Michael Cheval, 2014

the delight is in the disregard I'm here in this space but it's another world, a world away where creativity flows from my fingers and I sit with straight spine utterly absorbed not falling down but oh God no don't let that look land on me the mirrored world disappears that could be me if I lose focus get in harms way harm away, harm me did I offer an invitation? perhaps by lack of objection but I object by my fixed gaze I object by leaving you unacknowledged empathetic static erratic emphatic envelopes engulfs I have no protection from this yet if I fall you're crushed attraction and repulsion are part of the same stone even when broken in half
