.

on the move


I am
floating somewhere between 
day and night with boxes still 
unpacked and no progression
... 


here 
where chaos clutters, 
time grafts a waking 
dream. milieu of all 
milieus like bud lines 
in a tangled branch. 
time is out of joint
but the task is clear; 
find meaning in this 
misalignment. 

strangely 
he is the thread 
that anchors me to what 
I still hold dear; distance 
sailing, flying, making light 
of living through a desert 
storm

and

those were special days, 
riding words that fanned 
out into cosmic spheres
empowered by a centrifugal 
force that triumphed over 
gravity and effervescent 
screens.


so 
this is where mere 
chance and circumstance 
succeed by loops and knots, 
by speeds and movements, 
gestures, packs of multiplicities 
stringing into moments I must 
claim as mine. but still the same 
old question; 
what comes next?


"Kerouac's dream, and Virginia Woolf's, 
was for the writing to be like the line of 
a Chinese poem-drawing. She says that
it is necessary to "saturate every atom" 
and to do that it is necessary to eliminate, 
to eliminate all that is resemblance and 
analogy, but also 'to put everything into 
it' : eliminate everything that exceeds 
the moment, but put in everything that 
it includes - and the moment is not the 
instantaneous, it is the haecceity into 
which one slips and that slips into 
other haecceities by transparency. 
To be present at the dawn of the 
world."

(Deleuze and Guattari, 1988)
