People are all in the Faciality, except Wagner’s animals and Mozart birds. Norman Mailer Said That ounce at a certain age, we all-have the face we deserve. The face Does not bind. The face is universal. We wear a face, It Does not wear us. The distinction is crucial.

Variation

Jacob Gurevitsch

You know that the light is brighter beyond the emerged surface

Below the white the reality is thin

You know the subjects are too mobile to be counted

In immersion you mostly follow the feedback loops of your inner movie.

You know any massive assemblage aggregates, by routine

Its details and variation seem to be those of everyday objects

But something within us is indestructible

Beyond change and purification

At distance you only see my light

Come closer and know that I am you.

Genealogy – 1

Genealogy, grandfather

I am now almost at the age my grandfather (may his memory be blessed) was when this picture was taken . It would be instructive to compare us. But that is impossible for me. My aversion for mirrors is too strong. The distance separating from the image is blurred, an abyss of icy vanishing lines drowning all projection.

Limit of the world

Helene Grimaud, roland topor

Everything is always the same. The rest, a limitless background on which movements are useless forms. Nothing function… the rooms no longer correspond, the rooms are endless corridors, in silence. So many voices in the head, a single sovereign brings order there.

Language speaks by itself, out loud, no one hears. The words approach like a mirror, the voice is loud but it can be silent.

Habitable places always have limits. Any space left at the mercy of itself freezes. The pain of dropping levels is the only true antidote I know. Feeling like little flames lit in the night… always on the balance and always about to extinguish.

Liminal existence

snow rackets

Exile in the mountains would make my blindness worse. The sun or the snow are too intense there. The horizon is unfolded with no straight lines to hold to.

The landscape is a miniature where man does not exist, definitely having nothing to say to the world.

Bird Lyricism

aleph beth, bird





You are not mine because of memories

What does make you mine is the clay I crowded since the aleph beth.

To see you

Sufficed to make every small living space in me respond to you.

Erasure

12 Tuesday Jan 2021

Posted by S/O in Concepts, WORDS

Your voice is not found in any book.

I searched for a language and not a doctrine,
But after all my efforts, the erasure keeps accumulating.

Innocent Aleph

Aleph, Gentian, א

We said yes to each other before isolating ourselves in our being. Before sowing the white silences of our innocent Aleph . It is time to withdraw from the visible world.
