Poetry
- 2002
As
light expands outward in a diminishing manner,
(Science calls it the inverse square law)
it draws an intensity of being along with it,
pulls out something else
but, being does not diminish in its travel as light does
no it intensifies at a point, focuses at a place where the viewer confronts
it
headlong in a meeting and the “someone” in the image does not end
and here an experience takes place,
it becomes a space of inexhaustible persuasion
intimate revealing
there is an altercation between factions
between the death of daylight and the incandescent moment
blurred in rotation through space the as the subject moves
the eye is lost in the vagaries of travel while the I is discovered
But it is supported by the flick of a switch and the electromagnetic force
at this point wonder steps forward unclaimed by the brat science
