"the work of / righting what I"

the work of
righting what I
write is

discovering new combinations
           new couplings
                   new juxtapositions
                              new ways of

folding-in & turning-inside-out
   world
and self


finding creative lines of flight
    in
out


those that actually lead some
-where

those from which one can leave
to which one can return


.

Nails     hair     anything a person has
worn    touched   been long in close contact with
preserve an intimate relation
even when separated from    him or her

Distant things are linked
by means of
a sympathetic
symmetry

and sometimes
a single fossil is enough
to reassemble the whole damn
organism

. . .

the real crux
of the matter
in hand is

the combinations
  the couplings
   the juxtapositions

where the over
-lap overlap
-s
