recreated

illusions

intentionally

precision

a spider walks across the table


*

in the labyrinth there is stability


*

at the sea, we observe the moon & tide

Varo—Spiral Transit 1962

in search of an empty white page


it was a day of distractions

living in clouds between collages & poetry

asleep in the forest

as if the goddess—part ocean part marsh—

who lived on the island could impart wisdom or perhaps cohesion

crosses & hearts & amethyst stones

the light through mountains

nevertheless
