The Author of Attraction


The Author of Attraction

For and by yourself
to your own exacting aesthetic
often missing but always better for the trying
The author of attraction
Playing with the dream
over and over and over
backwards, forwards and backwards again
The author of attraction

Seen Not Caught

At the end of the platform
beside the green sign;
a singularity
Transformation
The frost like a bed of diamonds

Like, if pain is eventual
and suffering is optional
and you have the courage to decide between them
Then you have the courage to do anything at all
Anything you can think of

The singularity does not move, is happy to wait
But you, you are not so broken as you suppose

House Cat


Of course there is a kind of beauty in fragility
A triumph of refusal
a space inside the void
the best nap
a house cat
