There’s nothing here
so I move on
to something else
outside my grasp
where nothing matters
through closed expectations
and sedimentations
already there.
Strange body I live
mediating reflections
of still life shadows
in the open field of perception.
Second in the "nothing" matters series
ReplyDeleteTom Robbins has a book called STILL LIFE WITH WOODPECKERS... has a quote from Erica Jong as an epigraph:
ReplyDeleteThere are no still lives
Perhaps nothing matters for Jong too, Jon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reference.
How is still life with the peckers treating you these days?
I never mediate shit...I do sometimes reflect on things but I never expect nothing.
ReplyDeleteyour "strange body " seems to be quite perceptive, and how you are dwelling in all these fields and dimensions feels so open and courageous to me.... this piece feels haunting and misty ... a soft and smokey look at something just out of plain sight...
ReplyDeletenice work.
