half seen in the shadows a film of images monlit velvet. blue deep a pale stone in the dark a glitter of water: the days end voices far afield light of sunrise the stillness a rainbow awakens more pleasure down to sunset: after the brocade of night & the ornate shield a sable ribbon in a chronicled painting of Spring in fiesta yelow turquoise vermillion rising crossing then gathered clinging staggered a continuing thread together again in marked sculpture fragments moderated around an arbour of stone beauty just beginning a process taking form a mongraph dwelling as it were in the air moving towards certainty an obscure need flowering as a neccessity elsewhere out of the night langour out of the darkness no form nothingness no movement: time drifts between pleasure & peace splendour&habit dwelling in a natural manner always precious memory full of detail a catalogue a kindled measure of sensitive conversations a compromise of the constant a disposal of reason a deposit of the repetitive a voyage to the distant past still liquid customs written& understood matter still in place through it all the priviledged remain here spinning empty pledges in a procession offering their measured magnificence to implement particulars: meeting together without real participation
