"To speak of the future is to use a language that is forever ahead of itself, consigning things that have not yet happened to the past, to an 'already' that is forever behind itself, and in this space between utterance and act, word after word, a chasm begins to open, and for one to contemplate such emptiness for any length of time is to grow dizzy, to feel oneself falling into the abyss." --Paul Auster , writing on Royston's Lycophron in: "The Invention of Solitude," Collected Prose (pp 107-110)
"private lake"
Pax "Exodus" Piaf
appears smack at year's end
skull askew on Fillmore
skillfully fadged magic
& Surt who escorted
by cinders naught taught me
in the ill eye's wellspring
no answer save vise icing
