life is under construction the scaffolding

does not complete the forgotten

moments so tiny

as the bits of air that

make up the sky we don’t see them

one by one since we are

inside

it’s when we block the sky with

our hand

that we age

all of a sudden

I am a whirlwind

of meaning

I unravel

in what words

can no longer say

a linguagem não diz o mundo

ela o faz passar

no corpo do discurso em curso

onde o sujeito se perde

e continua

all of life

 is a waiting room 

the sky is blue I am blue

 it’s raining I’m raining 

I drive silence into my words 

- Henri Meschonnic

Is abstraction still luxury

in a world in which—imagine—you don’t

feel watched? In the way that moral preferences are

aesthetic judgments, or how metaphor has gone out

of style.

oh god as in / there is no turning back 

oh god as in / I had no choice 

oh god as in / this was going to happen anyway

The placeholder word for all the things we cannot name is God.

It’s one thing to have words.

And then there’s meaning.

- Anne Champion

It is possible to live a whole life

with a pain lodged in the throat

without the language

to cough it out.

- Anne Champion

and I knew so certainly

there were unevolved things in me

that I haven’t found the sound

or typography for

Death of a Sasquatch 

Kathleen Kirk

Attention must be paid, said his wife,

 writing to the scientists. 

It’s possible to die from lack of recognition, 

she went on, convinced, 

        but day after day 

he sat lumpish on the lip of the crater 

until he went down to the basement 

of his mind, where he did not exist.

I am

               looking

for a sign.

Enquanto houver linguagem, não haverá posse do absoluto.

Absoluto? Ao nomear, simplifico:

Logo, há perda.

Investigo para saber até onde posso saber.

Ainda que atravessado pelo amor, 

pelo sofrimento, pela beleza

e pelo orgasmo.
