Knowledge is an Aesthetic
“… knowledge about a fact; and this knowledge admits of numberless degrees of complication.” – W. James 1. Humanity named language Granting Spaces agency with form and place Out in the darkness Piles of clothes amass in the bedroom T-shirts have names but they’re laundry What form do I take against the laundry, stars and […]

Tarot Cards Before the Mirror
A wooden sign abbreviates the skyline with letters painted in black, back-dropped against chipped white paint, advertising Tarot readings for 40.00 dollars.

Names for Time and Place?
The alphabet described itself, during the dry season, when warring tribes found themselves negotiating flesh for food, still moments which caused a Big-Person to stare up at the tree tops and wonder what it all means, a moment for words. Blinked, the line broke, songbirds interrupted with exclamation points and the trail curling through dense […]
